Reaction Steps

14.2 g. of ethyl palmitate and 2 g. of hydroxylamine are reacted at room temperature in 300 ml. of ethanol in the presence of 1.7 g. of the sodium salt of 2-hydroxyquinoline. The reaction is complete in 5 hours, and 11.7 g. of palmitohydroxamic acid are obtained (yield: 85 percent), m.p. 100° - 101° C. after recrystallization from ethanol-petroleum ether (1:1).
