As LCMS analysis revealed a small amount of remaining starting material, formic acid (50 mL) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred for a further 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethanol (1 L) and water (400 mL). Hydroxylamine sulfate (435 g, 2.65 mol) and sodium acetate (217 g, 2.64 mol) were added and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was then filtered and concentrated in vacuo; the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate (500 mL) and water (1 L), and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×500 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (2×500 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide the product as an orange oil (234 g), which was taken directly to the following step. By 1H NMR, this material consisted of a roughly 1:1 mixture of oxime isomers. LCMS m/z 250.1 [M+H+]. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3), characteristic peaks: δ [7.52 (t, J=5.5 Hz) and 6.96 (t, J=3.6 Hz), total 1H], 7.28-7.39 (m, 5H), 5.74-5.87 (m, 1H), 5.04-5.14 (m, 2H), 4.55 and 4.56 (2 s, total 2H), {4.45-4.55 (m) and [4.27 (dd, half of ABX pattern, J=13.2, 5.4 Hz) and 4.21 (dd, half of ABX pattern, J=13.2, 5.6 Hz)], total 2H}, 2.30-2.37 (m, 2H).
