A type of chemical compound derived from removing water from oximes, which are nitrogen-containing organic molecules.
From an- (without) + hydro (water) + oxime (a class of organic compounds containing C=N-OH groups). This specialized chemistry term describes a modified oxime structure.
Anhydroximes are used in metal detection and coordination chemistry—removing water from oximes changes how they bond with metals, making them useful detective molecules in the lab.
