Solid State Cleavage of Oximes with Potassium Permanganate Supported on Alumina

Abstract

A manipulatively simple and rapid method for conversion of oximes to the corresponding carbonyl compounds is described. The reaction is conducted under solvent-less conditions using alumina-supported permanganate. According to the reaction system and conditions used, different ketones and aldehydes are obtained in moderate and good yields.
