oxime

Any of a group of compounds containing a hydroxyl group bonded to a carbon atom, which in turn is doubly bonded to a nitrogen atom. An oxime is formed by treating an aldehyde or ketone with hydroxylamine.

A compound formed by the action of hydroxylamine on an aldehyde (aldoxime) or a ketone (ketoxime). The oximes contain the atomic grouping=C:N.OH. They have played an important part in the study of the stereochemistry of nitrogen. Their formation indicates the presence of carbonyl oxygen in the substances from which they are derived.

One of a series of isonitroso derivatives obtained by the action of hydroxylamine on aldehydes or ketones.

Any of a class of organic compounds, of general formula RR’C=NOH, derived from the condensation of an aldehyde (R’ = H) or ketone with hydroxylamine.

any compound containing the group -C=NOH
