Potassium Carbonate → 4-chloro-N'-hydroxybenzenecarboximidamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-chloro benzonitrile (1.000 g, 7.26 mmol) in ethanol (20 mL) was added hydroxylamine HCl (0.752 g, 10.90 mmol) and potassium carbonate (3.00 g, 21.80 mmol). The reaction mass was refluxed for 10-12 h. Excess of solvent was removed under vacuum and the residue was diluted with water, acidified with dilute HCl. Precipitate obtained was filtered off and sucked dried to afford 0.500 g of desired product. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO d6): δ 5.88 (br s, 2H), 7.42 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 2H), 7.68 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 9.70 (br s, 1H); MS (m/z): 171.13 (M+H)+.
