I did oxime preparation using PTC (TBAB). How can i remove this phase transfer catalyst from this reaction mixture after completion of the reaction ? Please give details.

Have you tried to recrystallize your product? Oximes usually form crystals easily, so the removal of the catalyst shouldn't be a problem.

How much TBAB was in the reaction mixture?
