General Description
Off-white crystals.
Reactivity Profile
In aqueous solution, O-METHYLHYDROXYLAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE(593-56-6) behaves as an acid. Materials in this group are generally soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate concentrations of hydrogen ions and have pH's of less than 7.0. They react as acids to neutralize bases. These neutralizations generate heat, but less or far less than is generated by neutralization of inorganic acids, inorganic oxoacids, and carboxylic acid. They usually do not react as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents but such behavior is not impossible. Many of these compounds catalyze organic reactions.
Air & Water Reactions
Water soluble.
Fire Hazard
Flash point data for this chemical are not available. O-METHYLHYDROXYLAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE is probably combustible.
Description
Methoxamine hydrochloride, also known as methoxamine hydrochloride, O-methyl hydroxylamine hydrochloride. It is a white crystalline powder, and its fusing point is 149 ~ 152 DEG C, soluble in water, dissolved in alcohol, insoluble in ether and toluene, etc., and the solution is in acid. Methoxamine hydrochloride is an important chemical and medicine intermediate, can be used for the development and printing of color photography and film, and is widely used in the synthesis of medicine, functional dye, low-toxin farm chemicals, and new herbicides. Methoxamine hydrochloride is mainly used in the synthesis of s-generation cephalosporin product cephalofruxin in medical, and sulfamethoxazole; alkynes promise are bright, the synthesis of hydroxyurea, etc.; Agricultural chemicals aspect is then mainly used in the kresoxim-methyl of synthesizing efficient low toxicity.
Chemical Properties
White to very faintly yellow crystalline powder
Uses
antineoplastic, hydroxymethyltransferase inhibitor
Uses
Methoxylamine is a methoxime derivative used as internal standard for Prostaglandin assays by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry
Purification Methods
Crystallise the hydrochloride from absolute EtOH or EtOH by addition of diethyl ether. [Kovach et al. J Am Chem Soc 107 7360 1985, Beilstein 1 IV 1252.]
