  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-000378",
  "term": "Aldoximes",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Organic compounds characterized by the general formula RCH=NOH, formed by the condensation reaction of an aldehyde with hydroxylamine. These derivatives of aldehydes contain a carbon-nitrogen double bond and a hydroxyl group attached to the nitrogen atom. Aldoximes can exhibit geometric isomerism (E/Z isomers) due to restricted rotation around the carbon-nitrogen double bond.",
