Potassium Carbonate → 2,4-Difluoro-benzaldehyde oxime

Participants

Reaction Steps

(Scheme 1, Compound C) To a mixture of 2,4-difluorobenzaldehyde (0.80 g, 5.6 mmol) and hydroxyamine HCl salt (0.43 g, 6.2 mmol) in EtOH (5 mL) was added K2CO3 (0.85 g, 6.2 mmol). The resultant mixture was stirred at rt for 24 hours. The mixture was diluted with MeOH (20 mL). The precipitates were filter off and washed with MeOH. The product from filtrate was purified by recrystalization (EtOAc/Hexanes). This compound was obtained as a white solid (0.84 g, 5.3 mmol, 94% yield). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 12.98 (br. s, 1H), 8.17 (s, 1H), 7.79 (m, 1H), 7.32 (m, 1H), 7.11 (m, 1H); Analytical HPLC 1.03 min. (95%); Mass Spec.: 158.06 (MH+).
