Procedure

A mixture of ethyl 2-hydroxyimino-3-oxobutyrate (syn isomer, 10 g), ethylene glycol (19.75 g) and p-toluenesulfonic acid (0.3 g) and dried benzene (150 ml) was heated for 2 hours under reflux while removing water azeotropically. The reaction mixture was washed with water (50 ml), a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate (50 ml), water (50 ml) and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride (50 ml) in turn, dried over magnesium sulfate and then filtered. The filtrate was evaporated to give an oil of ethyl 2-hydroxyimino-3,3-ethylenedioxybutyrate (syn isomer, 7.12 g). (Yield: 55.1%).
