The resulting mixture is, after adjusted to pH 7 to 8 with the addition of an aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate, stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The reaction mixture is extracted with ether, and the ether layer is washed with an aqueous solution of sodium chloride, dried and concentrated to give diethyl 2-ethoxycarbonyloxyiminomalonate (24 g) as an oil.
