Chemical adventures with oximes

This account is a collection of vignettes describing new reactions discovered in the author’s group revolving around the chemistry of oximes. They range from ionic transformations, including reduction to unsubstituted imines and the formation of α-electrophiles, to the generation and capture of iminyl radicals, to a general synthesis of alkynes. The mechanistic reasonings and occasional serendipitous observations underlying these discoveries are discussed briefly.
