Participants

Reaction Steps

To 50 ml. of methanol was added 250 mg. (0.0109 mole) of metallic sodium and stirred until all the sodium had dissolved. This sodium methoxide solution was treated with 2.0 g. (0.0109 mole) of α-ethoxyimino-α-(2-furyl)acetic acid dissolved in 10 ml. of methanol and stirred at room temperature for one hour. The methanol was removed at 40° C. (15 mm.) and the product was dried in vacuo over P2O5 at 25° C. to yield 2.22 g. white solid, m.p. decomp. >240° C. The IR and NMR were consistent for the structure. ##STR12##
