Participants

Reaction Steps

1382 g (10.0 mol) of potassium carbonate are added in portions with stirring to a suspension, held at 30° C., of 500 g (3.40 mol) of 3-cyanobenzoic acid in 8 l of methanol. 695 g (10.0 mol) of hydroxylammonium chloride are subsequently added in small portions at an internal temperature of 40-45° C. The reaction mixture is then heated at the boil for 15 hours. The reaction mixture is evaporated in vacuo, and the residue is dissolved in water and acidified using 37% aqueous hydrochloric acid. The resultant precipitate is filtered off with suction, washed with water and dried in vacuo: 3-(N-hydroxycarbamimidoyl)benzoic acid as colourless crystals;
