Abstract
A simple, mild and efficient procedure for the cleavage of a wide range of ketoximes and aldoximes to the corresponding carbonyl compounds in an aqueous medium using catalytic amounts of potassium bromide and ammonium heptamolybdate tetrahydrate in combination with 30% hydrogen peroxide is described.
Key words
oximes - potassium bromide - ammonium heptamolybdate tetrahydrate - hydrogen peroxide

Typical Deoximation Procedure: To a thoroughly stirred soln of (NH4 )6 Mo7 O24 ·4H2 O (296 mg, 0.24 mmol) in H2 O (0.5 mL) was added 30% H2 O2 soln (1.2 mL). After stirring for 10 min, a soln of KBr (29 mg, 0.24 mmol) in H2 O (0.5 mL) was added followed by a drop of HClO4 (0.1 mL) whereupon the reaction mixture assumed a yellow coloration. Benzaldehyde oxime (145 mg, 1.2 mmol) was slowly added and the resulting mixture was stirred for 3 h (monitored by TLC); the mixture turned almost colorless. The reaction mixture was washed successively with 5% NaHSO3 soln (2 × 2 mL) and H2 O (2 mL), and was then extracted with EtOAc (2 × 10 mL) and dried (Na2 SO4 ). The concentrated extract was subjected to column chromato-graphy (silica gel, 60-120 mesh; light petroleum) to yield benzaldehyde (120 mg, 95%). Its identity was confirmed by co-TLC (and superimposable IR spectrum) with an authentic sample.
