Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 59119394, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-fluoro-5-iodobenzaldehyde (9.4 mmol) in H2O (5 ml), EtOH (5 ml), and ice (4.5 g) was added hydroxylamine hydrochloride (0.67 g, 10.3 mmol, 1.1 eq.). Then, 23.6 mmol of 50% NaOH (1 g in 1 ml H2O, 2.5 eq.) was added with stirring. Enough ice to keep the temperature at 25-30° C. was added. The reaction was stirred for 2 h, acidified with conc. HCl to pH 4 (ice was added to keep the temperature at 25-30° C.), and extracted with Et2O. The combined organic solution was washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel using (1-10%) ethyl acetate in hexanes to give 2-fluoro-5-iodobenzaldehyde oxime (2.06 g, 78% over 2 steps).
