ALPHA-BENZOIN OXIME Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white crystalline powder

Safety Profile

Poison by intraperitoneal route.Mildly toxic by ingestion. An eye irritant. When heated todecomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx.

Purification Methods

Crystallise the oxime from diethyl ether. It is used for the spectroscopic determination of Cu2+, Pd2+, Pt4+, Rh3+ and V5+ [Singh et al. Talanta 26 425 1979, Beilstein 8 IV 1282.]
