Abstract

A novel process is disclosed for the preparation of 4-hydroxyacetopheone oxime by reaction of 4-hydroxyacetophenone with a hydroxylamine in caustic wherein the mother liquor obtained after crystallization of the oxime together with the wash water is recycled back and reused. This invention illustrates the criticality of maintaining the reactants in certain critical mol ratios in order to obtain 4-hydroxyacetopheone oxime of acceptable color.
