Configurational assignments of oximes derived from 5-formyl and 5-acyl-1,2,4-triazines

The configuration of (3-substituted)-1,2,4-triazin-5-ylcarbaldoximes and (3-substituted)alkyl-1,2,4-triazin-5-ylketoximes was determined by means of ¹H-nmr, ¹³C-nmr, ¹⁵N-nmr and homonuclear NOE-difference spec-troscopy. Oximes resulting from reaction of 1,2,4-triazines with nitroalkanes were found to be either pure E-isomers or E/Z-mixtures with the amount of E-isomer greatly predominating. Detailed ¹³C-nmr data of the oximes investigated are presented.
