Microwave-Assisted Chemoselective Cleavage of Oximes to Their Corresponding Carbonyl Compounds Using 1,3-Dichloro-5,5-dimethyl-hydantoin (DCDMH) as a New Deoximating Reagent

Abstract

In the presence of alkene and alcohol, oximes are converted into their parent carbonyl compounds in good yields when treated with 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DCDMH) (1), under microwave irradiation. The simple work-up minimizes loss of products.
