Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (4-methoxyphenyl)acetonitrile (2.00 g, 14 mmol) and hydroxylamine hydrochloride (1.94 g, 28 mmol) in ethanol (25 mL) was treated with triethylamine (4.4 mL) and heated at reflux for 16 hours after which the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. Sodium carbonate solution (10%, 100 mL) was added and the solution extracted with ethyl acetate (150 mL). The organic extract was dried, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure to give a green solid which was purified by recrystallization from ethyl acetate/hexane to give 1.43 g (57%) of (Via) as pale green prisms. mp 163-170° C. (lit.14 108-109°). MS m/z 181 (M+1)+
