The ethyl acetate solution obtained is washed with 100 ml of a 5% aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and with 100 ml of water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulphate, filtered and evaporated to dryness.
- 6-O-methyl erithromycin A oxime may be obtained from 2'-4"-O-bis(trimethylsilyl)-9-0-(2- methoxyethoxymethyl)-6-0-methyl eryhtomycin A-9-oxime as conventional, e.g. as described in the description above.
