Abstract

Benzophenone O-vinyloxime readily takes up bromine and hydrogen chloride to give benzophenone O-(1,2-dibromoethyl)oxime and benzophenone O-(1-chloroethyl)oxime, respectively. Its reactions with methanol, trifluoroacetic acid, and acetic acid lead to formation of the corresponding O-(1-methoxyethyl), O-(1-trifluoroacetoxyethyl), and O-(1-acetoxyethyl) derivatives. Slow heating of the title compound induces its decomposition with formation of benzophenone as the major product; fast heating leads to a complex mixture of products containing benzophenone, benzophenone imine, and acetaldehyde.
