Oximes

Highly Flammable

ACETALDEHYDE OXIME may explode or decompose violently during distillation if samples have been previously been exposed to the air, which causes formation of peroxides of various types. Reacts as both a weak acid and as a weak base. Gives acetaldehyde and a hydroxylammonium salt if heated with aqueous acid. A nickel-catalyzed aldoxime rearrangement to an amide went out of control when a different solvent was employed [J. Loss Prev., 1993, 6(2), 69].

Acetaldehyde oxime's production and use as an intermediate in the synthesis of the pesticides methom, thiodicarb and alanycarb and in other organic synthesis(1) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC).

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 40(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that acetaldehyde oxime is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of acetaldehyde oxime from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 5.9X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), using a fragment constant estimation method(2). Acetaldehyde oxime is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an extrapolated vapor pressure of 5 mm Hg at 25 °C(3). A single biological screening study has noted that two microbes isolated from soil are able to grow on acetaldehyde oxime as a sole carbon source(4).|AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 40(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that acetaldehyde oxime is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 5.9X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(2). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 117 hours and 38 days, respectively(SRC). According to a classification scheme(4), an estimated BCF of 3(SRC), from its log Kow of -0.13(5) and a regression-derived equation(2), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. Acetaldehyde oxime does not absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(6) and, therefore, is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight in water(SRC). Insufficient data are available to predict the importance of hydrolysis in environmental waters(SRC). A single biological screening study has noted that two microbes isolated from soil are able to grow on acetaldehyde oxime as a sole carbon source(7).|ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), acetaldehyde oxime, which has an extrapolated solid-phase vapor pressure of 5.0 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase acetaldehyde oxime is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 7.6 days(SRC), calculated from its measured rate constant of 2.2X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(3). Acetaldehyde oxime does not absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(4) and, therefore, is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of acetaldehyde oxime with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals has been measured as 2.2X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 27 °C(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 7.6 days at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm(1). Acetaldehyde oxime does not absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(2) and, therefore, is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for acetaldehyde oxime(SRC), using a log Kow of -0.13(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of acetaldehyde oxime can be estimated to be 40(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that acetaldehyde oxime is expected to have very high mobility in soil.

The Henry's Law constant for acetaldehyde oxime is estimated as 5.9X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) using a fragment constant estimation method(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that acetaldehyde oxime is expected to volatilize from water surfaces(2). Based on this Henry's Law constant, the volatilization half-life from a model river (1 m deep, flowing 1 m/sec, wind velocity of 3 m/sec)(2) is estimated as 117 hours(SRC). The volatilization half-life from a model lake (1 m deep, flowing 0.05 m/sec, wind velocity of 0.5 m/sec)(2) is estimated as 38 days(SRC). Acetaldehyde oxime's Henry's Law constant indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces may occur(SRC). Acetaldehyde oxime is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a solid-phase extrapolated vapor pressure of 5 mm Hg at 25 °C(3).

According to the 2006 TSCA Inventory Update Reporting data, the number of persons reasonably likely to be exposed in the industrial manufacturing, processing, and use of acetaldehyde oxime is 100 to 999; the data may be greatly underestimated(1).|Occupational exposure to acetaldehyde oxime may occur through inhalation and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where acetaldehyde oxime is produced or used.

acetaldehyde oxime

Aldoxime Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Acetaldehyde oxime is derived from the reaction of hydroxylamine and acetaldehyde aqueous solution. Reaction equation: CH3CHO+NH2OH·HCl+NaOH→CH3CH=NOH+NaCl+H2O In the current industrial production, crystalline hydroxylamine sulfate with a higher content is generally used as raw material, and then it is formulated into 20%-50% during use The aqueous solution then reacts with acetaldehyde to generate acetaldoxime. The reaction equation is such as: CH3CHO+(NH2OH)2·H2SO4→CH3CH=NOH. Add acetaldehyde to the above hydroxylamine sulfate aqueous solution and react at 40~50℃ for 2h. After cooling, remove the inorganic salt in it to obtain about 50% acetaldoxime. After testing, the amount of impurities in the aqueous solution is very small except for acetaldoxime and water, and the yield of acetaldoxime is also more than 90% (calculated as hydroxylamine sulfate). This aqueous solution is extracted and refined , You can get acetaldoxime products with a content of more than 90%.
