Formaldoxime is theorganic compound with the formulaH2C=N−OH. It is theoxime offormaldehyde. A colorless liquid, the pure compound tends topolymerize into a cyclictrimer. Aqueous solutions are stable as is the formaldoxime hydrochloride ([H2C=N(−H)(−OH)]+Cl−). It is a reagent inorganic synthesis for the conversion of aryldiazonium salts to arylaldehydes.[1]
It is generated by combininghydroxylamine and formaldehyde.[2]
