Cycloalkanone oximes were shown to give the corresponding alkanoic acid arnides when irradiated in iso-propanol. a-Alkylated cyclohexanone oxirnes gave products corresponding to preferential cleavage on the side of the more substituted carbonatom. iso-Propanol was shown to transfer two hydrogenatoms specifically to the excited oxime molecule, acetone being formed in the process. I n 1 % aqueous solution, irradiation of oximes gave the corresponding ketones, ammonia, and oxygen.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
