Benzaldehyde oxime can be readily converted to the corresponding benzaldehyde in biphasic medium. The reaction was carried out with platinum electrodes at room temperature in an undivided cell within constant biphasic medium consisting of chloroform containing benzaldehyde oxime and an aqueous solution of potassium perchlorate as a mediator with a catalytic amount of H2SO4. The electrochemical oxidation was optimized with various experimental parameters to result in the high yield of benzaldehyde (80%).
