To a well stirred mixture of 195 g of methyl 3-formyl-4-nitrobenzoate, 1 l methylene chloride and 370 mL of water was added sequentially 77.6 g of methoxylamine hydrochloride, 76.2 g of sodium acetate and 6.8 g of tetra-n-butylammonium hydrogen sulfate. The resulting mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature, then diluted with 2 l of ethyl ether. The organic phase was separated and washed sequentially with water (1×500 mL), 2% aqueous hydrochloric acid (2×500 mL), water (2×250 mL), and brine (1×250 mL); then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed using a rotary evaporator yielding 218.6 g of the expected methyl 3-methoxyiminomethyl-4-nitrobenzoate as a reddish oil that solidified upon standing, and which was used as such in the next step.
