Golden solution: A neutral solution of AuBr3, containing [AuBr2(OH)2]− in equilibrium with [AuBr3(OH)]− and [AuBr4]−, promotes the chemoselective hydrolysis of robust oximes into carbonyl compounds without racemization (see scheme). The food additive diacetyl acts as a NH2OH‐trapping agent, thus avoiding the formation of gold nanoparticles and allows the reaction to run catalytically.
