Reaction Steps

A mixture of hydroxylammonium chloride (13.9 g, 200 mmol) and 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone (17.4 g, 92 mmol) in absolute ethanol (150 ml) was heated at reflux for 1 h and then stirred at ambient temperature for 16 h. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo, the residue suspended in water (100 ml), filtered and washed with water (20 ml), n-heptane (20 ml) and dried to give 14.0 g 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone oxime.
