N-cinnamylidenehydroxylamine

Conditions: temp:0.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: 3.44 g (0.02 mol) of 2-hydroxyimino-4-phenyl-but-3-enenitrile, (mp 127-129° C., prepared from cinnamaldoxime according to C. Trione et al, J. Org. Chem. 1993, 58, 2075) are dissolved in 20 ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran and cooled to 0° C. Methanesulfonyl chloride (1.7 ml, 0.022 mol) is added at once, followed by triethylamine (4.2 ml, 0.03 mol) dropwise over 15 min, keeping the temperature of the mixture at 5° C. The mixture is then stirred at 25° C. for two hours, and poured into 150 ml of iced water. The off-white precipitate is washed with ether, dried and recrystallyzed from 70 ml of ethanol, yielding 2.74 g (55%) of 2-methylsulfonyloxyimino-4-phenyl-but-3-enenitrile as colorless crystals, mp. 144-148° C. No attempt is made to recover more material from the ether extract. at 5° C The off-white precipitate is washed with ether dried

Conditions: temp:3.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: 53.3 grams of cinnamaldehyde (0.40 mols) was added to a solution of 39.1 grams of hydroxylamine sulfate (0.48 mols) in 79.5 grams of water. The mixture was cooled in an icewater bath to 3° C. Then a solution of 17.7 grams of NaOH (0.44 mol) in 17.7 grams of water was added over a period of 25 minutes. The formed cinnamaldehyde oxime precipitated. The reaction mixture was warmed to roomtemperature and the crude product was filtered. After recrystallization from toluene pure cinnamaldehyde oxime was obtained as white crystals. Yield: 70%. The formed cinnamaldehyde oxime precipitated The reaction mixture was warmed to roomtemperature the crude product was filtered After recrystallization from toluene pure cinnamaldehyde oxime was obtained as white crystals

Procedure: To a stirred solution of cinnamaldoxime (10 g, 68 mmol) in DMF (100 mL) at room temperature was added solid NCS (9.08 g, 68 mmol). The suspension was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was poured into ice-water, extracted with a mixture of ethyl acetate and hexanes (7:3, 3×), dried with Na2SO4, concentrated and dried in vacuum to give the title compound. extracted with a mixture of ethyl acetate and hexanes (7:3, 3×) dried with Na2SO4 concentrated dried in vacuum
