Procedure

Thus, 1262.7 g of an aqueous solution containing 189.1 g (0.594 mol, 95.8% yield, E/Z=15/85) of the potassium salt of α-hydroxyimino-2-(2,5-dimethylphenoxymethyl)phenylacetonitrile was obtained. It was found that 1,2-bis(2,5-dimethylphenoxymethyl)benzene was not found in the aqueous solution, but contained at an amount of 33.7 g (0.097 mol, 96.1% recovery) in 594 g of toluene after washing.
