Was looking at various oxime formaton reactions (there aren't many!) and came across this interesting paper:
A solvent free reaction of hydroxylamine HCl and benzaldehyde in dry silica gel (by mechanical grinding).
http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/00397919908086156
They also report that it is chemo-specific to aldehydes (no ketones).
Anyone read this before? I utfse and found nothing on here.

Have you seen: http://www.orgmedchemlett.com/content/pdf/2191-2858-1-12.pdf
They use Bi2O3 and dry grinding for production of oximes. It isn't specific for aldehydes, but they report that formation of the ketone oxime took
longerv to complete. The aldoxime was generated by grinding NH2OH.HCl with Bi2O3 and extracting the resulting oxime with EtOAc.

There are easier solvent free methods...

Wow.
I've actually heard trouble with this on a nother web site. Didn't look into it though.
