2-(3-Hydroxyphenyl)glyoxylic acid (3.32 g.) and 1N-methanol solution of hydroxylamine (45 ml.) were refluxed with stirring for 25 minutes. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in 1N-aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (70 ml.). An aqueous solution was washed with ether, acidified with dil. hydrochloric acid and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed, dried and treated with an activated charcoal. The solvent was distilled off to give 2-hydroxyimino-2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)acetic acid (a mixture of syn and anti isomers) (2.9 g.).
