A New Application of N‐Bromosaccharin as a Selective and Efficient Oxidative Reagent for Regeneration of Carbonyl Compounds from Oximes.

A new method for the direct conversion of various oximes into aldehydes and ketones by treatment with N-bromosaccharin is described. N-bromosaccharin can be used for an effective, selective and mild oxidizing agent for the regeneration of carbonyl compounds from oximes in good yield.
