摘要:
A process for producing an alpha -hydroxyiminophenylacetonitrile represented by general formula [II], (wherein R , R , R and Z are each as defined in the specification) by reacting a crude nitrile containing a phenylacetonitrile represented by general formula [I], (wherein R , R , R and Z are each as defined in the specification) with an alkyl nitrite in the presence of a base, extracting the reaction mixture with water, and neutralizing the separated water layer with an acid. This process enables target alpha -hydroxyiminophenylacetonitriles to be readily produced in a highly pure form in high yield by extracting the reaction mass with water and neutralizing the separated water layer with an acid.

A process for producing an α-alkoxyiminophenylacetonitrile represented by general formula [III], (wherein R¹, R², R³ and Y are each as defined in the specification) by reacting an alkali metal salt of an α-hydroxyiminophenylacetonitrile, represented by general formula [I], (wherein R¹, R², Y and A are each as defined in the specification) with a dialkyl sulfate represented by the general formula [II]: (R³)₂SO₄, (wherein R³ is as defined in the specification) in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst in a solvent mixture composed of a hydrocarbon solvent and water. It is possible by using the above catalyst and solvent mixture to inhibit the formation of a nitrone derivative as a by-product to thereby produce a highly pure alkoxyimino compound in a high yield.

摘要:
A process for producing a carboxylic acid derivative represented by general formula [VIII], (wherein R , R , R and L are each as defined in the specification), which comprises reacting a benzyl halide with a cyano compound to give a phenylacetonitrile, reacting the nitrile with an alkyl nitrite in the presence of a base to give an alpha -hydroxyiminophenylacetonitrile, reacting the hydroxy nitrile with an alkylating agent to give an alpha -alkoxyiminophenylacetonitrile, hydrolyzing the alkoxy nitrile in the presence of a base, optionally after hydration and acid treatment, to give an alpha -alkoxyiminophenylacetic acid, and finally reacting the acid with a halogenating agent, or converting the acid into a corresponding metal salt and reacting the salt with an alkylating agent, or reacting the acid with a lower alcohol in the presence of an acidic catalyst. According to this process, the reactions can be advanced through the respective steps under mild conditions, and the target derivative [VIII] can be produced even without resort to high-pressure steam equipment, high-temperature heat medium equipment, refrigerator, and so forth. Further, this process is advantageous in that only a single solvent will suffice without the necessity for using various solvents according to the respective steps.
