Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

151 g (1 mol) of m-nitrobenzaldehyde was added to 1 l of water warmed at 70° C. and 72.6 g (1.1 mol) of a 50% aqueous solution of hydroxylamine was added dropwise under stirring and further, was stirred at the same temperature for one hour. The resulting mixture was cooled to room temperature and crystals thus deposited were filtered, washed with water and dried. 160.5 g of m-nitrobenzaldoxime was obtained (yield 96.6%; M.P. 118°-121° C.).
