β¦ Synopsis
A variety of ketoximes undergo the Beckmann rearrangement when heated with 0.5 molar equiv. of chloral (neat melt/ 130Β°C), to furnish the corresponding amides in excellent yields (generally 80-95%) after simple work-up. (Aromatic aldoximes dehydrated to the corresponding nitriles in excellent yields under similar conditions.) The absence of solvent, BrΓΈnsted acids, strong Lewis acids and by-products, and a simple work-up characterise the procedures.
