Procedure

In 120 ml of chloroform is dissolved 27.3 g of ethyl 3-oxo-2-methoxyiminobutyrate and the solution is warmed to 40° C. Then, a solution of 25.3 g of bromine in 30 ml of chloroform is added dropwise over a period of 30 minutes. The mixture is stirred and reacted at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture is washed with a 5% aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate and water in that order and the organic layer is dried. The solvent is then distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain 36.2 g of ethyl 4-brom-3-oxo-2-methoxyiminobutyrate as an oily product.
