Abstract

A mild, simple process for the effective deoximation of a wide range of ketoximes and aldoximes has been developed, which utilizes available NaNO2 as the catalyst and molecular oxygen as the green oxidant. Notably Amberlyst-15, which acts as the initiator of NaNO2, can be reused without regeneration. This environmentally benign protocol could provide a valuable synthetic method for practical applications.
