CAS 24091-02-9: (E)-N-hydroxy-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)methanimine

2-Naphthaldehyde oxime is a reactive aldoxime that can be used as an oxidant in organic chemistry. It is able to increase the rate of hydrolysis by acid catalysts, and has been shown to cause biomolecular damage due to its ability to react with functional groups such as amines and alcohols. 2-Naphthaldehyde oxime reacts with silicon, styrene, and polystyrene. The reaction produces carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and water. This product also has the capability of solvating organic compounds through the use of water molecules. Hypervalent oxidation reactions may occur with 2-naphthaldehyde oxime due to its ability to form multiple bonds with oxygen atoms.
