Conversion of Oximes to Carbonyl Compounds with 2-Nitro-4,5-dichloropyridazin-3(2H)-one

Conversion of oximes to the carbonyl compounds has been demonstrated with use of 2-nitro-4,5-dichloropyridazin-3(2H)-one (2) under microwave irradiated conditions. Fourteen aliphatic and aromatic oximes converted to their corresponding aldehydes and ketones in good to excellent yields. It is noteworthy that the reaction is conducted under neutral, mild, and eco-friendly condition.
