Procedure

Potassium carbonate (3.11 g, 0.023 mol) and acetone (60 ml) were added to 2-phenoxy-α-hydroxyiminobenzyl cyanide (E/Z=11/89)(7.15 g, 0.03 mol). The mixture was stirred for 5 minutes. Then dimethyl sulfate (5.68 g, 0.045 mol) was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. After completion of the reaction, the resulting insoluble materials were removed. To the residue obtained after concentration under reduced pressure, toluene (60 ml) and 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (60 ml) were added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. After stirring, water (60 ml) was added. The mixture was extracted with toluene (100 ml), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel chromarography (ethyl acetate/n-hexane) to give 2-phenoxy-α-methoxyiminobenzyl cyanide (6.28 g, Yield: 83.0%, E/Z=7/93).
