Sodium cyanoborohydride (21.3 g) was added in portions to a solution of 4-benzyloxybenzaldehyde oxime (51 g) in acetic acid (250 ml) at ca 50° (cooling). After the reduction was complete, acetic anhydride (22.5 ml) was added in one portion, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour. The mixture was then poured into water, and the neutral product was isolated with ethyl acetate. The residue was treated with potassium carbonate (2 g) in methanol (400 ml) to hydrolyse the O-acetyl material, then the solvent was evaporated. Addition of 20% citric acid solution (400 ml) and isolation with ethyl acetate furnished N-(4-Benzyloxybenzyl) acetohydroxamic acid (32 g), m.pt. 119°-120° [from ethyl acetate-light petroleum (b.pt. 60°-80°)].
