Five alicyclic oximes 1 – 5 have been readily synthesized in moderate to good yields. These oximes were obtained through a reaction between the hydroxylamine hydrochloride and a number of alicyclic ketones (cylobutanone, cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, cycloheptanone and cyclooctanone) under mild reaction conditions. The spectroscopic data confirmed the formation of the first four oximes 1 – 4 as single conformational isomers. However, the cyclooctanone oxime 5 was obtained as a mixture of two conformational isomers with 81% for the major and only 19% for the minor isomer. Such finding could be an indication for the relationship between the increase of the ring size of the oxime and the raising possibility of the formation of conformational isomers as the flexibility of the ring increases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
