Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-(2,6-dichloro-3-methylphenyl)-1H-indole-2,3-dione-3-oxime (2.25 9) in 6 N NaOH (10 ml) and 4 ml MeOH is heated at 50° C. for two days without a reflux condenser. The resulting residue is taken up in water (50 ml) and filtered. It is neutralized with 1 N HCl with ice bath cooling. The precipitate is collected by filtration. The residue is air dried, dissolved in ether, and filtered. 2-[(2,6-Dichloro-3-methylphenylamino]-α-(hydroxylimino)-benzeneacetic acid (0.28 g, 50%) is precipitated from the ether solution by the addition of hexane, mp 152°-154° C. dec.
