Reaction Steps

6-Nitroveratraldoxime (113 g, 0.5 mole) was dissolved in 2500 ml of dimethylformamide. To this solution was added sodium methoxide (27 g, 0.5 mole). The suspension was treated with benzyl chloride (63 g, 0.5 mole) and stirring was continued for an additional 4 hr. The orange suspension was diluted with 3 1. of water and the solid was filtered, m.p. 109°-113°, yield: 110 g (78%). A small amount of the material was recrystallized from toluene to give an analytical sample melting at 116°-117°.
