Chemistry Organic Building Blocks Hydroxylamines
Hydroxylamine, also called Hydroxyammonia, has the chemical formula NH2OH and exists as a white crystalline and hygroscopic substance.
An aqueous solution is the prevalent form in which Hydroxylamine is supplied and employed, primarily for the production of Nylon-6. It also does serve as an intermediary in biological nitrification.
Electrophiles, such as alkylating agents, can attach to either the oxygen or the nitrogen atoms when hydroxylamine undergoes a reaction.
To synthesize substituted hydroxylamines, the widely used technique involves oxidizing an amine using benzoyl peroxide. However, caution should be exercised to avoid over-oxidation leading to the formation of a nitrone.
