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 ...

Industrial Significance Academic Significance Mechanism still uncertain Illustrated in numerous natural product syntheses Half of all produced cyclohexanone is converted to the oxime for this process. Precursor to nylon-6 Beckmann Rearrangement Publications
Is the migrating carbon group kinetically “free”? Entry of the migrating group into a separate molecule has never been observed Large ring expansion Retention of stereochemistry Unlikely that the ring opened as closure would be prohibitive
FMO Addition of EWG on the oxime oxygen polarizes the LUMO contributions
Carbenium Ion Trapping and Observation R = EWG, fragmentation less favorable (stability of benzylic cation) o-methylacetophenone oxime “More similar to anilinium than phenonium, and concluded to be nitrilium ion..”
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...

Figure 1. Beckmann rearrangement transforms an oxime (left) to an N-substituted amide (right). There have been several computational investigations of the molecular mechanism of the BR reaction in the gas-phase,8,9 water,10,11 formic acid,10 and acetic acid.12 These investigations have established a stepwise mechanism for the BR reaction of an ...
Nylon – 6 is made from caprolactam as a raw ingredient. The Beckmann rearrangement reaction of cyclohexanone and oxime produce caprolactam. Hoechst – Celanese used Beckmann rearrangement to manufacture the drug paracetamol on an industrial scale. Q15: Explain Beckmann Rearrangement Reaction assisted by Cyanuric Chloride. Answer:
Jun 11, 2021 · The Beckmann rearrangement results when an oxime (an N-hydroxyimine) is treated with concentrated acid and heated. The oxime, in turn, is generated by treatment of a ketone with hydroxylamine. A catalytic amount of acid can activate the carbonyl, accelerating the otherwise sluggish reaction. The reaction, like the pinacol rearrangement, is ...
