Abstract

A rapid, efficient method for deprotection of oximes to carbonyl compounds is demonstrated by using sodium chlorite (NaClO2) in water. The protocol has been found to be applicable to a wide range of aldoximes and ketoximes with good to excellent yields of the corresponding carbonyl compounds.

Keywords: Sodium chlorite, oximes, carbonyl compounds, aqueous conditions.
