I need help with the reaction mechanism for the oxidation of benzaldoxime by NaOCl. I am suppose to treat the NaOCl as NaOH and Cl2(g).
so I start with Ph-CH=N-OH (benzaldoxime) but I am not sure how the chlorine gas attack or how the reaction attacks the chlorine gas (Cl2) Because I am suppose to form this chloro-oxime intermediate (below):
(Ph-C= N-OH) the Cl is attached to the C
l
Cl
Also which attacks first the NaOH attack- please explain to me
