Abstract

Less-toxic, moisture-stable, inexpensive, and ecofriendly zirconium oxychloride octahydrate (ZrOCl2 · 8H2O) in aqueous acetone (1:1) mediates the conversion of oximes to carbonyl compounds in moderate to good yields. This green methodology is applicable to both aldoximes and ketoximes with tolerance to >C˭C<, -NO2, -OH, and -Cl groups. The reaction and workup are simple.

Notes

a Oximes 1 were synthesized according to the standard procedure and characterized by comparison of their reported spectroscopic and physical data.

b Isolated yield.

c All compounds gave satisfactory IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopic data, and finally their meeting and boiling points were compared with those of authentic samples.
