Water was added to the reaction mixture and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with an aqueous saturated solution of sodium chloride, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel chromatography to obtain methyl E-4-phenyl-4-[4-(5-phenyl-3-isoxazolylmethoxy)benzyloxyimino]butyrate (472 mg, yield 63%) as a colorless oil from an ethyl acetate-hexane (2:9, v/v)-eluted fraction.
