The synthesis of six new nitronyl alcohols is reported: PhCH= Nf (O-) C (CH3) 2 (CH&, 0H, in which m= 1, 2, and 3; and PhCH= N+(O-) C (CH&,(CH2OH),, in which n+ p= 3 and 0 5 n I 3 and 0 I p I 3. All are produced by condensation of benzaldehyde and the appropriately substituted hydroxylamine derived from the nitro alcohol of the corresponding structure. The synthesis of the benzoates of the nitronyl alcohols starting from the benzoates of the ...
