Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 53932705, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

An aqueous solution of 0.90 g (22.6 mmol) of sodium hydroxide was added to a solution in methanol of 0.47 g (2.3 mmol) of ethyl α-methoxyiminophenylacetate (the less polar isomer prepared above). The resulting mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was poured into 1N hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated to give the title compound as a crude product, which was used in the subsequent reaction without further purification.
