Solution
The correct option is D trifluoroperoxyacetic acid Primary nitroalkanes are obtained in good yield by oxidising aldoximes with the help of trifluoroperoxyacetic acid. RCH=N−OH+[O]trifluoroperoxyaceticacid−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−→R−CH=N+(O−)−OH⇌R−CH2−NO2 Note: Secondary nitroalkanes are obtained in good yield by oxidising ketoximes with the help of trifluoroperoxyacetic acid.
