The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of E-oxime ethers of phenylglyoxylic esters of the general formula I <IMAGE> in which X and Y denote halogen, alkyl, alkoxy, CF3, C(=NOR)R (R = alkyl and alkenyl), by reacting oximes of the formula II <IMAGE> with a methylating agent in an organic diluent, and process for the preparation of E-oximes of phenylglyoxylic esters of the formula II by isomerising the E/Z oximes. |
