✦ Synopsis

A new method for the direct conversion of oximes into aldehydes and ketones by treatment with cerium(IV) salts is described. Cerium(IV) salts can be used as an effective and mild oxidizing agent for the regeneration of carbonyl compounds from oximes in good yield. The solvent effects are discussed.
