✦ Synopsis
The Beckmann fragmentation is one of the long-known reacnons and used widely in organic syntbesis.l The reactive intermediates 2 in the Beckmann fragmentation of the corresponding a-alkoxycycloalkanone oxime denvatives are very active electrophdes.
Although they seem to react with many kinds of nucleophiles, only a limited land of nucleophiles such as H20, ROH, halide anion and carbon ones have been used so far.lz We wish to disclose here a novel hydride anion attack to 2. The overall transformation is shown in Scheme 1. This is, to our knowledge, the first example of reductive Beckmann fragmentation.

In previous papers we have shown that in the photo-Beckmann rearrangements
Cyclic (E)-B-trimethylsilylketoxime acetates were effectively cleaved by a catalytic action of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate to give the corresponding unsaturated nitriles. The fragmentation in the Beckmann rearrangement is completely controlled and directed by trimethylsilyl group to lea
