β¦ Synopsis
When ketoximes admixed with solid metaboric acid (formed from boric acid at 100Β°C/0.1 Torr) are heated ( 140Β°C/7-42 h), the corresponding amides or lactams are produced in excellent yields (62-92%) via the Beckmann reaction. Aromatic aldoximes undergo both dehydration to the nitrile as well as (non-stereospecific) rearrangement under the above conditions. The absence of solvent, and the mildness and low toxicity of boric acid, characterise the present procedure.
