Procedure

A 1.6M solution of butyllithium in hexane (55 ml) was added to a stirred solution of the 1-[1-(4-chlorophenyl)cyclobutyl]ethanone oxime (8.94 g) in dry tetrahydrofuran (120 ml) the temperature being maintained below 0° C. for 40 minutes. The mixture was cooled to -5° C. and acetone (2.67 ml) was added dropwise. The temperature of the reaction mixture was allowed to rise to ambient temperature over a period of 16 hours. The mixture was cooled to 10° C. and water (100 ml) was added and the resulting aqueous mixture was washed with ether. The aqueous layer was acidified with 5N sulphuric acid and an oil separated. The oil was dissolved in ether and the ether solution was washed with water, dried and evaporated to yield 1-[1-(4-chlorophenyl)cyclobutyl]-3-hydroxy-3-methylbutan-1-one oxime.
