Patent ID: 7034184

Claim:
A process for producing an azine compound or an oxime compound, the process comprising reacting a peroxide compound represented by following Formula (2) wherein R a , R b , R c and R d are the same or different and are each a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group, and wherein R a and R b , R c and R d may be combined to form a ring together with the adjacent carbon atom, respectively, with ammonia and water in the presence of a nitrogen-containing cyclic compound constitutively having a skeleton represented by following Formula (A) in its ring: wherein X is one of an oxygen atom and an —OR group, and wherein R is one of a hydrogen atom and a hydroxyl-protecting group, to yield an azine compound represented by following Formula (3): wherein R a , R b , R c and R d have the same meanings as defined above, or oxime compounds represented by following Formulae (4a) and/or (4b): wherein R a , R b , R c and R d have the same meanings as defined above.
