Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-phenylcyclohexanone (28.7 mmol), hydroxylamine hydrochloride (36.0 mmol), and sodium acetate (60.95 mmol) in ethanol and water was heated at 70° C. overnight. Ethanol was removed, and the residue was dissolved in water and ethyl acetate. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate.
