Phenylhydroxylamine is the organic compound with the formula C₆H₅NHOH. It is an intermediate in the redox-related pair C₆H₅NH₂ and C₆H₅NO. Phenylhydroxylamine should not be confused with its isomer α-phenylhydroxylamine or O-phenylhydroxylamine.

Preparation

This compound can be prepared by the reduction of nitrobenzene with zinc in the presence of NH₄Cl.^[1]^[2]

Alternatively, it can be prepared by transfer hydrogenation of nitrobenzene using hydrazine as an H₂ source over a rhodium catalyst.^[3]

Reactions

Phenylhydroxylamine is unstable to heating, and in the presence of strong acids easily rearranges to 4-aminophenol via the Bamberger rearrangement. Oxidation of phenylhydroxylamine with dichromate gives nitrosobenzene.

The compound condenses with benzaldehyde to form diphenylnitrone, a well-known 1,3-dipole:^[4]

C₆H₅NHOH + C₆H₅CHO → C₆H₅N(O)=CHC₆H₅ + H₂O
