An aqueous solution of 2 N sodium hydroxide (8 ml.) was added with stirring at ambient temperature to a solution of methyl 2-methoxyimino-2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)acetate (anti isomer) (1.56 g.) in methanol (30 ml.). After stirring for 3 hours at the same temperature, methanol was distilled off. To the residue was added water and the mixture was washed with ether. The aqueous layer was adjusted to pH 1 with 10% hydrochloric acid, subjected to salting-out and extracted with ether. The extract was washed with a sodium chloride aqueous solution and dried over magnesium sulfate. Ether was distilled off to give crystals of 2-methoxyimino-2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)acetic acid (anti isomer) (1.07 g.). The crystals were recrystallized from a mixture of petroleum ether and ether to give crystals (0.7 g.), mp 99° to 101° C. (dec.).
