Reaction Steps

Using the procedure of Example I, phenyl acetaldehyde oxime in chloroform is reacted with chlorine gas introduced at -5° to 0° C. To the resulting solution of 1-chlorophenyl acetaldehyde oxime is added dropwise with stirring a solution of potassium t-butoxide in t-butanol. The reaction is allowed to go to completion and any residual potassium t-butoxide is neutralized with hydrogen chloride gas. The precipitated potassium chloride is removed by filtration, and the filtrate concentrated under reduced pressure to provide the desired 1-(t-butoxy)-2-phenyl acetaldehyde oxime.
