n-Butyltriphenylphosphonium Peroxodisulfate (BunPPh3)2S2O8: an Efficient and Inexpensive Reagent for the Cleavage of Carbon–Nitrogen Double Bonds under Non-aqueous and Aprotic Conditions
Abstract
An efficient and convenient conversion of oximes, phenylhydrazones, p-nitrophenylhydrazones and semicarbazones to the corresponding carbonyl compounds with n-butyltriphenylphosphonium peroxodisulfate is reported.
