Hydroxyamine hydrochloride → 6-Chloro-2-methylnicotinaldehyde oxime

Participants

Reaction Steps

6-Chloro-2-methylnicotinaldehyde (1 g, 6.43 mmol), hydroxylamine hydrochloride (0.45 g, 6.43 mmol), and sodium acetate (0.53 g, 6.43 mmol) were dissolved in dry ethanol (32 ml) and transferred to a flame-dried round bottom flask. The reaction was allowed to stir at room temperature for 20 minutes. It was then concentrated under reduced pressure, re-dissolved in ethyl acetate, and washed with water. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate two times. The organic layers were combined, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification was performed via silica gel chromatography (0-100% ethyl acetate in hexane) to afford the title compound.
