Nitrite-containing resin as an efficient and recyclable catalyst for aerobic oxidation of oximes to carbonyl compounds

Using novel nitrite-containing resin as an NO source and Amberlyst-15 as cocatalyst, we developed aerobic oxidation of oximes to corresponding carbonyl compounds with molecular oxygen as a clean oxidant reagent. It was distinguished from the previous related reports, and the experimental results indicated that additional water obviously decreased the yield. This process provides a better choice for oxidative deoximation with many advantages, such as high yield, simple procedure, high catalytic performance, and recyclable catalyst.
