Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

52.9 g (0.35 mol) of o-nitrobenzaldehyde was dissolved in 150 ml of methanol and an aqueous solution of 27.8 g (0.38 mol) of hydroxylamine hydrochloride in 35 ml of water was added dropwise over 30 minutes while maintaining the temperature at 30° C. The mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 2 hours and diluted with 300 ml of water. White crystals deposited were filtered, washed with water and dried. Thus, 53 g of o-nitrobenzaldoxime was obtained. Yield 91%; M.P. 95°-98° C.
