The Beckmann Rearrangement. Versatile reaction to make lactams and amides. Prepared starting from hydroxime, with many leaving groups possible. Alkyl group that migrates does so with retention of configuration, and is always anti to the oxime leaving group. E. Beckmann, Ber.

Summary Rearrangement is a stereospecific trans shift Rearrangement occurs through an ester-like oxime intermediate (either EWG reagent or autocatalysis) The migrating carbon group is never kinetically free Migration of chiral group does not decrease ee The migration step involves an isomerization followed by ionization to a nitrilium ion intermedi...

Jan 23, 2023 · The Beckmann rearrangement is a reaction discovered in the mid-1880’s by the chemist Ernst Otto Beckmann. The reaction converts oximes into their corresponding amides 1 allowing the insertion of the nitrogen atom from the C=N bond into the carbon chain forming a C–N bond.
This chapter discusses the mechanism, experimental procedure, and applications of various rearrangement reactions, namely Baeyer–Villiger oxidation, Dakin oxidation, Bamberger rearrangement, Beckmann rearrangement, Benzilic Acid rearrangement, Baker–Venkataraman rearrangement, Claisen rearrangement, Eschenmoser–Claisen rearrangement ...
Rearrangement Reactions. the origi-nal molecule. Rearrangement reactions mostly involve breaking and/or making C— , C—O, or C—N bonds. The migration origin is the atom from which the group moves, and the migration terminus is the a. Baeyer–Villiger Oxidation or Rearrangement.

Beckmann Rearrangement. The Beckmann rearrangement converts ketones into amides and is the nitrogen equivalent of the Baeyer-Villager reaction with ketones. The rearrangement is relatively straightforward for reactions of symmetrical ketones, as shown in the example below.
