Hydroxylamine → 4-t-Butoxycarbonyl benzaldoxime

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 100 ml of methanol were dissolved 20.5 g of 4-cyanobenzoic acid t-butyl ester and 13.9 g of hydroxylamine. To the solution was added, while stirring at room temperature, 128 g of triethylamine, and the mixture was stirred for one hour at 85° C. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The concentrate was dissolved in ethyl acetate, and the solution was washed with water. The organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a crude product, which was recrystallized from isopropyl ether to afford 11.45 g of the title compound as a colorless crystalline product.
