Beckmann rearrangement is an acid-catalyzed reaction of ketoximes into amides. The yield of this reaction increases at elevated temperatures. The reaction is named after German pharmacist and chemist Ernst Otto Beckmann .
Beckmann rearrangement is used in the conversions of benzophenone oxime to benzanilide and cyclohexanone oxime to caprolactam .
The mechanism of the Beckmann rearrangement follows the same pattern as a pinacol reaction. The acid converts the oxime OH into a leaving group, and an alkyl group migrates on to the nitrogen as water departs. The product cation is then trapped by water to give an amide .

The Beckmann rearrangement is often catalyzed by acid, however other reagents have been known to promote the rearrangement. These include tosyl chloride, thionyl chloride, phosphorus pentachloride, phosphorus pentoxide, triethylamine, sodium hydroxide, trimethylsilyl iodide among others.[3] The Beckmann fragmentation is another reaction that often competes with the rearrangement, though ...
The Beckmann Rearrangement. The archetypal Beckmann rearrangement [4] is the conversion of cyclohexanone to caprolactam via the oxime. Caprolactam is the feedstock in the production of Nylon 6. [5] The Beckmann solution consists of acetic acid, hydrochloric acid and acetic anhydride, and was widely used to catalyze the rearrangement.

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. Depending on the starting material, it could also produce nitriles ...
