Abstract

An efficient oxidative cleavage of oximes to their corresponding carbonyl compounds with chromic acid supported on kieselguhr reagent under heterogeneous conditions at reflux with a yield between 86 and 96% is described. In these reaction conditions, deoximation of aldoximes required a longer reaction time than that of ketoximes, and the conditions are not suitable for deoximation of aliphatic aldoximes.
