Participants

Reaction Steps

To 120 ml of ethanol and 60 ml of water were added 29.6 g (0.2 mole) of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzaldehyde, 32.8 g (0.4 mole) of sodium acetate and 20.7 g (0.3 mole) of hydroxylamine hydrochloride, and the mixture was heated under reflux for 2 hours. After the reaction, the reaction mixture was added to 500 ml of water. The precipitated crystals were collected by filtration to give 28 g (0.17 mole) of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzaldoxime.
