Hydroxylamine → (+/-)-3-[2,4-Bis(methoxymethoxy)phenyl]-N-hydroxycyclohexanecarboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Triethylamine (11 μl) and isobutylchloroformate (10 μl) were added to a stirred solution of (±)-3-[2,4-bis(methoxymethoxy)phenyl]cyclohexanecarboxylic acid in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (2 ml) at 0° C. under argon. After 30 min, aqueous hydroxylamine solution (0.5 ml, 50 wt %) was added. The reaction mixture was partitioned between water (20 ml) and ethyl acetate (50 ml). The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×20 ml) and the combined organic extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo to give the title compound as a solid (26 mg, quant.) and a mixture of diastereoisomers; m/z (ES+) 340 (M+H)+.
