Abstract: An industrial process for recovering L-phenylalanine in high yield from a side stream obtained from .alpha.-APM is disclosed. L-aspartic acid or an aqueous solution thereof is added to such a side stream when hydrolysis of the side stream is performed under acidic conditions with a mineral acid, the pH of the reaction mixture obtained by hydrolysis is then adjusted to 5 to 6 to precipitate L-phenylalanine.

Abstract: Fungicidal new 2-methoximinocarboxylic esters of the general formula (I) ##STR1## in which Ar represents one of the radicals ##STR2## and A represents one of the radicals --CH.sub.2 --; ##STR3## where Y represents one of the radicals ##STR4## --O--CH.sub.2 --; --CH.sub.2 --O--; --S--CH.sub.2 --; ##STR5## --SO.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --; --O--; --CH.dbd.CH-- or --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --,n represents the number 0 or 1,R represents alkyl, halogenoalkyl, alkenyl, halogenoalkenyl, or represents optionally substituted cycloalkyl, or represents optionally substituted aryl or represents optionally substituted heteroaryl, and, moreover, in the event that n is 0, also represents halogen, andX.sup.1, X.sup.2, X.sup.3 and X.sup.4 independently of one another in each case represent hydrogen, halogen, hydroxyl or methoxy, but where, in the event that X.sup.2 represents bromine, X.sup.3 does not simultaneously represent hydroxyl or methoxy.
