Sodium Carbonate → Ethanone, 1-(2-aminophenyl)-, oxime

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Acetylaniline, 33.8 gm, was added slowly to 300 ml of ethanol containing 18.3 gm of hydroxylamine hydrochloride and 27.7 gm sodium carbonate. After addition of the entire amount of 2-acetylaniline, the system was refluxed for 16 hours and then cooled to room temperature. After cooling, the ethanol was removed by stripping. Water was then added to the residue to give a precipitate. The precipitate was filtered and dried to give a pale yellow solid, m.p. 55°-60° C.
