Chemicals Used
pentafluorobenzaldehyde,
water,
hydroxylamine hydrochloride,
sodium carbonate,
ethanol
Procedure
To hydroxylamine (15 g; 0.22 mol) in water (200 cm3) was added pentafluorobenzaldehyde (12 g; 0.061 mol) in ethanol (30 cm3). The mixture was stirred vigorously, and sodium carbonate (23 g) added portionwise. After stirring over night, the mixture was cooled to 0 oC and the solid filtered and recrystallised (DCM) to give product as white crystals (12.68 g; 98%)
Author's Comments
Literature procedure doesn't involve recrystallisation, and product is obtained fairly pure without it. The crystals are slightly yellow without recrystallisation.
The product is the syn isomer (see Pejkovic-Tadic et al. Helv. Chim. Acta, 1965, 48, 1157).
Other oximes were prepared by slightly different methods, and are reported separately.
The reaction was performed only once.
