Hydroxylamine hydrochloride , also known as hydroxylammonium chloride , is a colorless, crystalline inorganic chemical compound . It is the hydrochloric acid salt of hydroxylamine and behaves like unbound hydroxylamine in most chemical reactions , but is more thermally stable .
Manufacturing
Hydroxylamine hydrochloride is accessible through
- Electrolysis of a mixture of mercury nitrate , sulfuric acid and nitric acid (this creates the sulfate) and subsequent addition of barium chloride solution .
- by boiling potassium hydroxylamine disulfonate , forming the sulfate as above, from which the product with barium chloride is obtained.
properties
Hydroxylamine hydrochloride reacts with aldehydes or ketones to form oximes and with carboxylic acids to form hydroxamic acids .
use
Hydroxylamine hydrochloride is a versatile reagent in pharmaceutical and organic synthesis, for example for the synthesis of oximes and oxime ethers from carbonyl compounds or for the synthesis of hydroxamic acids. In analysis it is used in oxime titration .
Legal status
In Germany, hydroxylamine hydrochloride is classified as an explosive substance of substance group C in accordance with the regulations of the Explosives Act.
