A chemical compound formed by the reaction of an azo compound with hydroxylamine or containing an oxime group adjacent to an azo linkage.
From 'azo-' (containing -N=N-) + 'oxime' (imine derivative containing -N-OH). Combines two functional groups that chemists can prepare through controlled organic synthesis.
Oximes are incredibly useful in synthesis—they can be converted into many other useful compounds, so azoximes open up entire reaction pathways for making new medicines and materials.
