The reaction of primary alkyl halides withPiloty’s acid (C* HBS08NHOH) or Angeli's salt (Na8N80 «), reported by Angelí to give aldoximes, has been shownto proceed by alkylation of the beuzenesulfonhydroxamate or nitrohydroxamate ion, respec-tively, rather than by alkylation of nitroxyl, HNO, which these compounds generate. Sodium nitrosyl does not convert alkyl halides to oximes, nor does it convert aldehydes to hydroxamic acids (Angeli-Rimini aldehyde test). The rate of breakdown of Angeli’s salt to nitrite and nitroxyl has been found to follow first-order kinetics, and to be unaffected by a change in solvent from water to ethanol, but it is markedly retarded by sodium hydroxide. Alkaline nitration of cyclohexylhydroxylamine gives cyclohexanone oxime through the unstable N-cyclohexyInitrohydroxamate anion. The O-acetyl and O-tetrahydropyranyl derivatives of Piloty’s acid can be alkylated efficiently on the nitrogen to give isolable products, which can be converted to aldoximes by hydrolytic cleavage of the blocking group andtreatment with base. By the various methods mentioned benzyl and 2, 4, 6-trimethylbenzyl chlorides and ethyl and hydrocinnamyl iodides havebeen converted to the corresponding oximes.
