Dried toluene (10 ml) was added to the mixture, to which was further added dropwise dimethylsulfate (1.39 g, 0.011 mole) under ice cooling. After completion of the addition, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours. Then, ether (100 ml) was added, followed by washing with water three times. The ether layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (ethyl acetate/n-hexane) to obtain E-α-methoxyimino-2-phenoxyphenylacetic acid methyl ester (1.20 g, yield: 84.1%) as colorless crystals (melting point: 109°-110° C.).
