Then, dried toluene (6 ml) was added to the mixture, to this was further added dropwise dimethylsulfate (0.61 g, 0.0044 mole) under ice cooling. After completion of the addition, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 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-phenoxyphenyl acetic acid methyl ester (1.20 g, yield: 80.6%) as colorless crystals (melting point: 109 °-110° C.).
