Abstract

Bromodimethylsulfonium bromide, in combination with zinc chloride, has been shown to be an excellent catalytic system for liquid-phase Beckmann rearrangement of various ketoximes into the corresponding amides/lactams in acetonitrile at reflux temperature with good to excellent yields.

Key words

Beckmann rearrangement - ketoximes - amides - bromodimethylsulfonium bromide (BDMS) - catalytic process - Lewis acids
