Reaction Steps

In Scheme 3, the starting phenol is reacted with a benzyl halide in the presence of a base (e.g. sodium amide, triethylamine, sodium hydroxide, barium oxide, silver oxide, sodium hydride) in an inert solvent (e.g. ether, dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran) to give a benzyl phenyl ether, which is an example of the derivative of the alkoxyiminocarboxylic acid (V).
