Analytical methods for determining traces of various other impurities, such as chlorides (ASTM D2384), are known to be in use. The presence of acetylenes in rehnery gases, although unlikely, must still be considered. Acetylenes can be determined using a chemical test method, while carbonyls are determined by the classical hydroxylamine hydrochloride reaction (ASTM D1089). 

The mesomeric quinonemethides and 0-quinonemethides described above are somewhat more stable than the simple p-quinonemethides whose properties are already well known even from classical studies. The o-quinonemethides XX and XVII do not add on water even in solution in aqueous organic solvents their solution in dioxane/water is stable for months. They do not add on methanol or higher alcohols and react only slowly with phenols and organic acids. The addition of water is not catalyzed by mild alkalies the red color of the phenoxide ion (XVIII) prevails for weeks in soda solution. Addition of water occurs more rapidly in strongly alkaline solution. The addition of mineral acids and reduction by sodium borohydride are instantaneous. The addition of HC1 is rapid even at pH 4.0, the conditions used for determining the carbonyl content of lignin by the hydroxylamine hydrochloride reaction 13). 

In current industrial practice gas chromatographic analysis (glc) is used for quahty control. The impurities, mainly a small amount of water (by Kad-Fischer) and some organic trace constituents (by glc), are deterrnined quantitatively, and the balance to 100% is taken as the acetone content. Compliance to specified ranges of individual impurities can also be assured by this analysis. The gas chromatographic method is accurately correlated to any other tests specified for the assay of acetone in the product. Contract specification tests are performed on product to be shipped. Typical wet methods for the deterrnination of acetone are acidimetry (49), titration of the Hberated hydrochloric acid after treating the acetone with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and iodimetry (50), titrating the excess of iodine after treating the acetone with iodine and base (iodoform reaction). 

Reactions with Amines and Amides. Hydroxybenzaldehydes undergo the normal reactions with aUphatic and aromatic primary amines to form imines and Schiff bases reaction with hydroxylamine gives an oxime, reaction with hydrazines gives hydrazones, and reactions with semicarbazide give semicarbazones. The reaction of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde with hydroxylamine hydrochloride is a convenient method for the preparation of 4-cyanophenol (52,53). 

The assay method involves the reaction of benzaldehyde with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in an alcohoHc solution. Benzaldehyde oxime, water, and hydrochloric acid are the products of the reaction. The hydrochloric acid formed is then titrated with standard caustic solution to determine the benzaldehyde assay. 

The chemical consequences of /3-protonation are illustrated further by the ring-opening reactions of furans with methanolic hydrogen chloride and of (V-substituted pyrroles with hydroxylamine hydrochloride (Scheme 11) (82CC800). 

The reaction of the steroidal )3-ketoaldehyde (293) with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in acetic acid gave a mixture of the 3- and 5-substituted isoxazoles (294) and (295a). In sodium acetate buffer the reaction provided exclusively the 5-substituted isomer (29Sb) (66JOC3193). 

The reaction of )3-substituted vinyl ketones RCOCH=CHY (Y = halogen, OR or NR2) with hydroxylamine hydrochloride has been extensively investigated (63AHC(2)365, 62HC(l7)l). One would anticipate that replacement of hydroxylamine hydrochloride with hydroxylamine in these reactions would result in enhanced regiospecificity and increased... 

Since an electron-withdrawing group such as ethoxycarbonyl at the a-carbon atom enhanced the electrophilicity of the )3-carbon atom, the reaction of a-ethoxycarbonyl-)3-ethoxyvinyl ketones (298) with hydroxylamine hydrochloride gave solely 5-substituted isoxazole-4-carboxylates (299) (55JOC1342, 59YZ836). 

Alkyl-5-arylisoxazoles (303) were prepared by the regiospecific reaction of appropriate 1,3-diketones (302) (R = alkyl or perfluoroalkyl) with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in pyridine (79MI41601). 

The reaction of a-bromoenone (307) with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in ethanol in the presence of potassium carbonate resulted in the regiospecific formation of 3-alkyl-5-phenylisoxazoles (303). On the other hand, when sodium ethoxide was used as the base under similar conditions, 5-alkyl-3-phenylisoxazoles (308) were obtained exclusively (80CC826, 81H(16)145). 

The reaction of methyl acetylpyruvate (312) with hydroxylamine hydrochloride gave the 3-carboxylate (313) in 76% yield together with traces of the isomeric 5-carboxylate (314) (78MIP41600). However, the sodium salt (315) of acetylpyruvic acid resulted in 3-methyl-isoxazole-5-carboxylic acid (316) as the major product. 

The following reaction sequence provides a regiospecific route to 3,4-disubstituted 5-isoxazolones (328) (73ACS2802). The /3-ketoesters (325) were heated under reflux with benzylamine in benzene in the presence of molecular sieves (3 A) to give the )3 -benzylamino-a,)3-unsaturated esters (326). The latter reacted first with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in... 

The reaction of flavylium salts (403a) with hydroxylamine in pyridine gave 2,5-dihy-droisoxazoles (404) in an analogous manner (75T2884). Pyrimidines have also been converted into isoxazoles, and the reaction of the pyrimidines (405) with hydroxylamine hydrochloride gave the isoxazoles (338). 

Isoxazole was first synthesized by Claisen in 1903 from propargylaldehyde diethyl acetal and hydroxylamine (03CB3664). It has also been obtained by addition of fulminic acid to acetylene in methanol-dilute sulfuric acid solution, by acidic hydrolysis of 5-acetoxyisoxazo-line, by reaction of /S-chloroacrolein or/3-alkoxyacrolein with hydroxylamine hydrochloride... 

Methylisoxazole and its homologs have been readily prepared by reaction of hydroxylamine hydrochloride with tetraalkoxypropanes (284) (63AHC(2)365), a-alkyl- 8-alkoxy-acroleins (62ZOB2961) and with a-alkyl- -dimethylaminoacroleins (60CB1208). 

Methylisoxazole (297 R = Me) and its homologs can be synthesized by reaction of hydroxylamine hydrochloride with 1-alkyl-3-dimethylamino-2-propen-l-one (296) (54IZV47), the anilino derivatives of acetoacetaldehyde (47G556), 3-dimethyl-aminomethylene-l-propyne (equation 7) (69ZOR1179) and the /3-ketoaldehyde (293) (66JOC3193). 

Both 4,5-dimethylisoxazole and 3,4-dimethylisoxazole are formed on treatment of the sodium derivative of a-methylacetaldehyde with hydroxylamine hydrochloride. The two isomers can be separated by fractional distillation <62HC(17)1, p. 54). 4,5-Dialkylisoxazole or 3,4-dialkylisoxazole can be obtained as the sole reaction product from an appropriate nitrile iV-oxide and an appropriate vinyl acetate. 

Trialkylisoxazoles have been prepared by the condensation of primary nitroalkanes under the influence of basic reagents (40JA2604). They can also be obtained from the reaction of a 1,3-diketone RCOCHRCOR with hydroxylamine hydrochloride <62HC(17)l, p. 54). 

Phenylisoxazole was obtained by the reaction of 2-phenyltetraalkoxypropane with hydroxylamine hydrochloride 63AHC(2)365). 

The reaction of a dibromochalcone with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in pyridine gave three products with the expected 2-isoxazoline product as the predominate compound. A ring bromination product and an isoxazole were also isolated (70UC796). The reaction of hydroxylamine with /S-thiosulfates of propiophenone at reflux produced 3-phenyl-2-isoxazo-line (455). At room temperature a bis-Michael product (456) was produced. The reaction with N -phenylhydroxylamine yielded a mono-Michael type product (457) (74CPB1990).

A mixture of 202 g 2-amino-5-chlorobenzophenone, 190 g hydroxylamine hydrochloride, 500 cc pyridine and 1,200 cc alcohol was refluxed for 16 hours, then concentrated in vacuc to dryness. The residue was treated with a mixture of ether and water. The water was separated, the ether layer containing a considerable amount of precipitated reaction product was washed with some water and diluted with petroleum ether. The crystalline reaction product, 2-amino-5-chlorobenzophenone-0 -oxime, was filtered off. The product was recrystallized from a mixture of ether and petroleum ether forming colorless prisms, MP 164° to 167°C.
