In organic chemistry, an oxime is an organic compound belonging to the imines, with the general formula , where R is an organic side-chain and R' may be hydrogen, forming an aldoxime, or another organic group, forming a ketoxime. O-substituted oximes form a closely related family of compounds. Amidoximes are oximes of amides ({{chem2|R^{1}C(\dO)NR^{2}R^{3} }}) with general structure {{chem2|R^{1}C(\dNOH)NR^{2}R^{3} }}.
