2-chloro-N-hydroxy-2-methylpropanimidoyl chloride

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

Procedure: A mixture of 50 g (0.32 mol) of 2-methyl-1,2-dichloro-1-oximino-propane, 50 g (0.5 mol) of finely powdered calcium carbonate and 500 ml of absolute methanol is heated at the boiling point for 30 minutes, while cooling under reflux. The mixture is filtered, the filtrate is concentrated and the residue is extracted several times with ether. The ether phase is dried over sodium sulphate and filtered and the filtrate is concentrated. 38.4 g of 2,2-dimethyl-2-methoxy-1-chloro-1-oximino-ethane are obtained in the form of white crystals of melting point 95° C., and the yield is 79% of theory: is heated at the boiling point for 30 minutes while cooling under reflux The mixture is filtered the filtrate is concentrated the residue is extracted several times with ether The ether phase is dried over sodium sulphate filtered the filtrate is concentrated
