Hydroxyamine hydrochloride → 1-Methyl-4-(2-fluorobenzoyl)piperidine oxime

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5.2 g of 1-methyl-4-(2-fluorobenzoyl)piperidine, 2.5 g of hydroxylamine hydrochloride, 5.4 g of ammonium acetate and 50+15 ml of ethanol-water was heated under reflux for 22 hrs. Most of the ethanol was removed under reduced pressure. The aqueous mixture was made basic with aqueous sodium hydroxide and the mixture was extracted with chloroform. The chloroform extract was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and the chloroform was evaporated in vacuo to give a solid. The solid was triturated with ether. Recrystallization from ethanol-water gave 3.0 g (52.6%) of product, mp, 136°-139°.
