Synthesis and Structural Analysis of Trichloroacetamidoxime

Abstract

The trichloroacetoamidoxime was synthesized following the principles of green chemistry in excellent yield (90 %). This compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic system with space group P2 1 2 1 2 1 and the cell parameters are a = 5.7353 (3), b = 10.5167 (8) Å , c = 21.4787 (16) Å , a, b and c = 90°, V = 1295.52 (15) Å 3 , Z = 4. The final residual factor is R 1 = 0.0429, wR 2 = 0.0884. The presence of the intermolecular hydrogen bonds generates pseudo rings of five members between two molecules that indicate the amido oxime conformation for trichloroacetoamidoxime.
