description <b>Background</b>: Recurrent approximation of retention parameters in reversed-phase HPLC is effective for revealing anomalies that are otherwise difficult to detect, namely, the reversible hydration of analytes. This was demonstrated previously for restricted sets of analytes with acetonitrile–water eluents. Expanding the number of analytes and eluents seems to be a topical problem. Two kinds of derivatives of aromatic carbonyl compounds were characterized: unsubstituted hydrazones and oximes. <b>Methods</b>: If analyte demonstrates no anomalies in dependences of retention times vs. concentration of organic modifier, the recurrent approximations of these dependences are linear. To explain the features of recurrent approximations, the numerical experiments were proposed and considered. The artificial shifting of one, two, or more points allows for the modeling the different kinds of deviations of approximations from linearity. <b>Results</b>: It was shown that hydrazones are the class of analytes having no anomalies of retention parameters. On the contrary, several anomalies were detected for oximes. Downward deviations of points in the plots of recurrent approximations of retention times are the signs of reversible hydration. This effect for methanol–water eluents was detected for the first time. Some of oximes underwent hydrolysis. <b>Conclusions</b>: Recurrent approximation of retention times allows detecting chemical transformations of analytes during RP HPLC analysis.
