What is meant by the following terms? Give an example of the reaction in each case.
 Oxime

Answer

Oximes are class of organic compounds having the general formula RR’CNOH, where R is an organic side chain and R’ is either hydrogen or an organic side chain. If R’ is H, then it is known as aldoxime and If R’ is an organic side chain, it is known as ketoxime. On treatment with hydroxylamine in a weakly acidic medium, aldehydes or ketones form oximes.
