Reaction of hydroxyiminoacetophenone with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride and an X-ray diffraction study of the reaction product

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF02495228

2-Benzoyloxy-2-phenylmalononitrile is formed instead of the expected oxime tosylate in the reaction of hydroxyiminoacetophenone with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride. The structure of the product was confirmed unambiguously by X-ray diffraction analysis.
