Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 85728081, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of 9.97 g (50.9 mmol) of 2,3,4-trimethoxybenzaldehyde and 4.43 g (53.1 mmol) of N-methylhydroxylamine hydrochloride in 100 mL of ethanol was added a solution of 2.05 g (51.3 mmol) of sodium hydroxide in 15 mL of water. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 22 h and evaporated in vacuo to remove the bulk of the solvent. The residual solid was taken up in 150 mL of dichloromethane, washed with 50 mL of water and dried over MgSO4. Removal of the solvent afforded 11.31 g of N-methyl-C-(2,3,4-trimethoxyphenyl)nitrone as a white solid. 1H-NMR (CDCl3) d 3.85-3.95 (9H), 6.75 (d, 1H), 7.65 (s, 1H), 9.1 (d, 1H).
