Oxidation of N-hydroxy-amines by sulphuryl chloride
Abstract
Reactions of N-hydroxy-amines with sulphuryl chloride in ether gave N-chloro-N-hydroxyammonium salts. Work-up of these salts with aqueous potassium hydroxide afforded nitrones or nitrosobenzenes, depending on the starting materials. Reactions in acetonitrile, in which the intermediate salts are soluble, yielded products of further reaction of the nitrones.
