isomer of oxime 26 (10 g, 33 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (10 ml) so that the medium remained neutral or weakly
alkaline but the temperature did not rise above 5°C. The mixture was stirred for 2 h to 2 h 30 min, then poured
into water. The precipitated solid was separated, washed with water, and dried. Fractional crystallization from a
mixture of benzene–hexane gave compound 28 (0.994 g, 18%) and compound 29 (4.095 g, 75%). The properties
of compound 28 are described in [4]. Compound 29 had mp 140-142°C. IR spectrum, ν, cm-1: 1650 (C=O), 1585
