Procedure

A solution of 2-hydroxyimino-2-phenylacetonitrile (14.6 g.) and dimethylaniline (13.2 g.) in a mixture of acetone (5 ml.) and benzene (80 ml.) was added dropwise to a solution of trichloromethyl chloroformate (phosgene dimer) (6.7 ml.) in benzene (30 ml.) under ice-cooling. The mixture was stirred for 6 hours at the same temperature and allowed to stand overnight. A mixture of tert-butyl alcohol (11.1 g.), pyridine (16.0 ml.) and benzene (20 ml.) was added dropwise, under ice-cooling, to the resultant mixture containing 2-chlorocarbonyloxyimino-2-phenyl-acetonitrile. The mixture was stirred for 7 hours at room temperature and allowed to stand overnight. The reaction mixture was treated as described in the above Examples 2(A) to 2(F) to give 2-tert-butoxycarbonyloxyimino-2-phenylacetonitrile (17.0 g.), mp 84° to 86° C.
