21. Kozikowski, P.; Adamczyk, M. J. Org. Chem. 1983, 48, 366-372 Ethyl 2-chloro-2-(hydroxyimino)acetate (8) is commercially available in bulk from a number of suppliers; however, costs associated with the purchase and shipping of (8) (US $400-700/kg) prompted us to synthesise the material in-house.
22. The yield of (8) on 150 g scale or less was found to be slightly higher, at an average of 56%. However, all reactions carried out at a scale of 200-500 g afforded lower yields of (8), with an average yield of 43% obtained on this scale.

25. Personal communication with J. Lalonde, Y. Yao, and Y. Wang of Altus Biologics Inc., who selected the enzyme for this resolution, see ref 7a. The ChiroCLEC-BL was supplied by Altus Biologics from a single batch, and the resolution was run five times on this scale. Although ChiroCLEC-BL is no longer commercially available on this scale, the nonimmobilized form of the enzyme, alcalase, which is commercially available, performed equally well in this transformation on laboratory scale. For another example of the use of the ChiroCLEC-BL in synthesis see: Ema, T.; Jittani, M.; Furuie, K.; Utaka, M.; Sakai, T. J. Org. Chem. 2002, 67, 2144-2151
