The ethyl acetate layer was washed with an aqueous saturated solution of sodium chloride, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. The residue was recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane to obtain E-6-phenyl-6-[4-(5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-ylmethoxy)benzyloxyimino]hexanoic acid (465 mg, yield 90%) as colorless crystals. m.p. 88-89° C.
