Beckmann rearrangement alkylation

Beckmann rearrangement-alkylation sequenceOxime sulfonates react with AIR, to form rearranged imines, which are reduced to amines by DIBAH (equation I). The reaction involves selective migration of the R group anti to the oxime sulfonate.

This process is illustrated by the successive Beckmann rearrangement-alkylation sequence using trialkylaluminums [14]. Occasionally the nucleophilic center may behave as a proton scavenger. These characteristic features are of great interest to synthetic organic chemists.

Substituents R, R at the starting oxime 1 can be H, alkyl, or aryl. The reaction conditions for the Beckmann rearrangement often are quite drastic (e.g. concentrated sulfuric acid at 120 °C), which generally limits the scope to less sensitive substrates. The required oxime can be easily prepared from the respective aldehyde or ketone and hydroxylamine. 

A number of reactions have been explained on the basis of generation of carbocations. The examples include the Friedel-Crafts alkylation and arylation reactions. Besides pinacol-pinacolne rearrangement, Beckmann rearrangement and Wagner-Merwein rearrangement are other examples. 

Beckmann rearrangement of ketoketoximes 288 (R,R = alkyl, aryl) with thionyl chloride unexpectedly afforded 2-aryl(or alkyl)amino-4,6-disubstituted pyrylium salts 289 (equation 124). This reaction is the first example of rearrangement/cyclization involving carbonylic oxygen as terminator. ... 

Another synthetic route via the Beckmann rearrangement, which is promoted by organoaluminum reagent along with alkylation, involves a new stereoselective reduction of the imino group. The starting oxime sulfonate (228) was synthesized from cyclopentanone (226) in three steps Reaction of 226 with 1-undecene in the presence of silver oxide produced the a-undecylcyclopentanone (227) which on successive treatment with hydroxylamine and methanesulfonyl chlo-ride-triethylamine gave the mesylate (228). Treatment of the oxime mesylate...
