Procedure

Method G illustrates still another means for obtaining intermediate XIII. In this method, substituted propriolate ester XVI is reacted with amidoxime XVII in a suitable solvent (e.g., alcohol, acetonitrile, THF, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), acetone, DMF) at about 0° C. to the reflux temperature of the solvent for about 1-48 hours to obtain olefin XVIII wherein when R1 =H, a mixture of cis and trans isomers is obtained, and when R1 =alkyl or aryl, a mixture of E and Z isomers is obtained. Further treatment of olefin XVIII in solvents such as DMF, DMSO, diphenylether, xylene, and the like, at 0° C. to the reflux temperature of the solvent for about 1-48 hours affords intermediate XIII, preferably for 1 hour in diphenylether at 180°-200° C.
