Yu-Qing Cao, Rui-Yan Liu, An-L

Abstract

Zn andAcetic acid, as a kind of reducing systemcan easily reduce a variety of aromatic aldoximes or ketoximes to their corresponding amines in high to excellent yields under ultrasonic irradiation at roomtemperature.As against the conventional methods, the reaction times were shorted by 1h-4h.
