Read up on the mechanism for imine formation; this one is virtually identical to that.

Two points to what has been added so far. First, I am very particular about how curved arrows are used. The curved arrow starts with the oxygen rather than the electrons of oxygen. Curved arrows only show electron movements. Secondly, if the nitrogen of hydroxylamine is in the product, why isn't it included in any prospective attacks on the C=O bond?
