Place 80 g, of hydroxylamine sulphate (or 68-5 g. of the hydrochloride), 25 g. of hydrated sodium acetate, and 100 ml. of water in a 500 ml. flask fitted with a stirrer and a reflux water-condenser, and heat the stirred solution to 55-60°. Run in 35 g (42 nil,) of -hexyl methyl ketone, and continue the heating and vigorous stirring for ij hours. (The mixture can conveniently be set aside overnight after this stage.) Extract the oily oxime from the cold mixture twice with ether. Wash the united ethereal extract once with a small quantity of water, and dry it with sodium sulphate. Then distil off the ether from the filtered extract, preferably using a distillation flask of type shown in Fig. 41 (p. 65) and of ca, 50 ml, capacity, the extract being run in as fast as the ether distils, and then fractionally distil the oxime at water-pump pressure. Collect the liquid ketoxime, b.p. 110-111713 mm. Yield, 30-32 g. 

A general one-step method for preparation of primary and secondary nitroparaffins from amines by oxidation with y -chloroperbenzoic acid in 1,2-dichloroethane has been reported (68). This method is particularly useful for laboratory quantities of a wide variety of nitroparaffins because a large number of amines are readily available from ketones by oxime reduction and because the reaction is highly specific for nitroparaffins. 

By similar procedures diazirines were prepared not only from simple aliphatic ketones but also from hydroxyketones and )3-aminoketones (B-67MI50800), and so were a large number of diazirines from steroidal ketones (65JA2665). Permanganate, bromine, chlorine and hypochlorite were used as oxidants. A one-step preparation of diazirines from ketones like 3-nonanone, ammonia and chlorine has been claimed in a patent (66USP3290289). 3,3-Diazirinedicarboxylic acid derivatives like (286) were obtained directly from oxime tosylates by the action of two moles of O-ethoxyamine (81AG(E)200). 

Answer This branched primary amine can be made from ketone (21) via the oxime (p T 63). A 1,2 C-C disconnection on (21) is good as it needs the symmetrical allylic halide (22). 

The cycloaddition, reduction and oxidation reactions emanating from a,/J-unsatu-rated nitroalkenes provide easy access to a vast array of functionalities that include nitroalkanes, N-substituted hydroxylamines, amines, ketones, oximes, and a-substi-tuted oximes and ketones [73-75], Consequently, there are numerous possibilities of using these in situ generated nitroalkenes for the preparation of valuable building blocks and synthetic precursors. 

Asymmetric catalytic reduction reactions represent one of the most efficient and convenient methods to prepare a wide range of enantiomerically pure compounds (i.e. a-amino acids can be prepared from a-enamides, alcohols from ketones and amines from oximes or imines). The chirality transfer can be accomplished by different types of chiral catalysts metallic catalysts are very efficient for the hydrogenation of olefins, some ketones and oximes, while nonmetallic catalysts provide a complementary method for ketone and oxime hydrogenation. 

Particularly good yields of the cydoadduct 329 are obtained if R1 = R2 = H is valid for the allenyl ketone 328 [165]. The Diels-Alder products 329 can undergo many chemical transformations, for example to the oximes 330, which yield the modified allenes 331 after a subsequent flash vacuum pyrolysis. The oximes 331 generated by retro-Diels-Alder reaction are not available from ketones 328 and hydroxylamine hydrochloride directly [122] (see also Scheme 7.19). 

Interestingly, treatment of a-nitrostilbene in water-ethyl acetate mixture by the cation-radical of A,A -dioctyl-4,4 -bipyridinium (the octylviologen cation radical) leads to the formation of products derived from the nitro group reduction. No dimerization is observed (Tomioka et al. 1986). Water is responsible for the fixation of transferred electron within the nitro group. Further reactions result in the formation of the corresponding oxime and ketone as shown in Scheme 2.10. 

Dave and co-workers have reported a successful synthesis of 2,2,4,4-tetranitroadamantane (117) which uses the mono-protected diketone (113) as a key intermediate. In this synthesis (113) is converted to the oxime (114) and then treated with ammonium nitrate and nitric acid in methylene chloride to yield the em-dinitro derivative (115). This nitration-oxidation step also removes the acetal-protecting group to leave the second ketone group free. Formation of the oxime (116) from ketone (115), followed by a similar nitration-oxidation with nitric acid and ammonium nitrate, yields 2,2,4,4-tetranitroadamantane (117). In this synthesis the protection strategy enables each carbonyl group to be treated separately and thus prevents the problem of internal nitroso dimer formation. 

The synthesis of amines from oximes is exemplified by the reduction of oxime 332 to 333 (99W032453) and of bicyclic oximes (derived from ketones 3 and 23a), for instance, of oxime 387 (Scheme 87) to amine 388 that is acylated to yield potential pharmaceutical agent 390 (92BML1147). Nucleophilic substitution of chloropyridine 384 generates morpholino derivative 385 (76IJB400). 

Most of the current preparative methods of oximes from nitroalkenes are not versatile. Reduction of nitroalkenes by CrCl2 or NaH2P02 in the presence of palladium was reported to afford the corresponding oximes, but the yields are not satisfactory. Zn-acetic acid and Na2Sn02 reductions are limited to the preparation of ketoximes only. Electroreduction of alkenes was reported to yield mixmres of ketones and ketoximes, or oximes and acetals (or ketones) depending on the strucmre of nitroalkanes. 

Carboxymethyl)-oximes are normally prepared in a single step from ketones, but the 11-oxo-group in 17j8-hydroxy-5a-androstane-3,ll-dione was too hindered to react with O-carboxymethylhydroxylamine. Instead the 11-oxime, obtained by selective cleavage of the 3,11-dioxime, was treated with alkaline sodium chloro-acetate to prepare the hapten (31) for linking to BSA via C-11. ... 

Many of the methods discussed in this section can also be treated as combinations of more than two fragments. For instance, in the cyclization of a-hydrazono oximes with orthocarboxylates described in the next section, the a-hydrazono oximes (635) are treated as a five-atom fragment, but since these compounds are usually prepared from ketones by nitrosation and reaction of the oximino ketones with hydrazine, the entire reaction sequence may be described asa[2 + l+ 2+ l] combination. 

The most frequently used method for the synthesis of monocyclic furazans involves the dehydration of the appropriately substituted a-dioxime. Its utility stems from the ready availability of the precursor. Reduction of furoxans, which may themselves be formed from a variety of sources (Scheme 17) including glyoximes (see Section 4.22.4.2.1), oximation of 1,2-diones, and a -nitrosation-oximation of ketones are among the most favored approaches. 

The procedure described is a one-step conversion of cycloheptanone into hexahydro-2(lH)-azocinone. The method is general and is characterized by good yields, mild conditions, and easy preparation of the product in pure form from readily available starting materials. Several methods are described in the patent literature for simultaneous oximation of ketones and rearrangement to the corresponding oxime, Including the use of hydroxylamine and sulfuric... 

Tetramethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindole (4) was obtained from ketone 5 through oxime 6 in 70% yield (Scheme 2) (99TL4519).
