Abstract
A simple convenient procedure of oxidative deoximation has been developed using pyridinium fluorochromate (PFC), in combination with 30% hydrogen peroxide. The method has been found to be effective for a wide range of aliphatic and aromatic oximes, and may be used for selective cleavage of aldoximes in the presence of ketoximes.
