Ultrasound‐Promoted Rapid Oxidative Cleavage of Oximes with NaBrO₃/Ion Exchange Resin

Abstract

The oxidative cleavage of oximes has been studied under solvent‐free ion exchange resin (IER) catalysis by sodium bromate using ultrasonic irradiation. Both aldoximes and keto‐oximes selectively converted to the corresponding carbonyl compounds in high yields within short times at room temperature.
