oksimiyhdisteet
Oksimyhdisteet are a class of organic compounds characterized by the presence of a carbon-nitrogen double bond (C=N) where the nitrogen atom is bonded to a hydroxyl group (-OH). This functional group can be represented as R1R2C=NOH, where R1 and R2 can be hydrogen atoms, alkyl groups, or aryl groups. Oksimyhdisteet are typically formed through the reaction of a carbonyl compound, such as an aldehyde or a ketone, with hydroxylamine. The reaction is a condensation reaction, releasing a molecule of water.
The structural arrangement around the C=N double bond can lead to geometric isomerism, with syn and anti
Some oksimyhdisteet have found applications in analytical chemistry, particularly for the detection and quantification of aldehydes
