“…After stirring the reaction mixture at 0 °C for 1 h, a solution of the oxime derivative (2.1 g, 0.013 mol) in dry THF (100 mL) was added over 30 min and the whole was heated under reflux for 2.5 h before cooling to 0 °C. Sequential treatment with H20 (1.5 mL), 10 N NaOH (2.2 mL), and H20 (3.8 mL), filtration, and concentration of the filtrate gave the title compound (1.78 g 98%), used without further purification.…”
