Beckmann rearrangement cyclization

The intermediate may be trapped by other nucleophiles (different from water) and diverse products may be obtained. The interception of the intermediate may occur inter- or intra-moleculary, the latter providing a helpful tool to produce a new ring system (Scheme 9, pathway 2). These reactions are sometimes referred to, respectively, as Beckmann rearrangement-addition and Beckmann rearrangement-cyclization reactions. 

Aromatic donble bonds may also be nsed effectively to trap the electrophilic intermediate (electrophilic aromatic snbstitntion). The Beckmann rearrangement-cyclization seqnence has fonnd ntihty in the synthesis of the isoquinoline nucleus . ... 

When the oxime precursor for the Beckmann rearrangement contains one or more oxygen atoms placed in the appropriate position, a cyclization reaction may occur. One example of a Beckmann rearrangement-cyclization involving an oxygen atom as... 

The Beckmann rearrangement-cyclization sequence terminated by aromatic moieties is fairly general. Recent examples of isoquinoline and dihydroisoquinoline synthesis exhibit two-step sequences using phosphorus pentachloride and phosphorus pentoxide via the cyclization of the intermediate imidoyl chlorides (equation 34). ...

The course of the reaction is dependent on the configuration of the oxime. The (Z)-oxime gave 1,2-benzisoxazoles as the primary product while the (E)-oxime generally produced a Beckmann rearrangement product with or without subsequent cyclization to a benzisoxazole (Scheme 167) (67AHC(8)277). Bunnett conducted a kinetic study on the reaction shown in Scheme 167 and determined that cyclization to intermediate (551) was the rate determining step (61JA3805).

Organoaluminum-promoted Beckmann rearrangement/methylation of cyclohexanone oxime mesylate, followed by allylation of ketimine 40a and Mannich cyclization of the intermediate iminium-allylsilane, provides piperidine 40b possessing cxo-unsaturation (08BKC1669). 

The tetracyclic framework of homoberbine-like compound 210 was constructed by Beckmann rearrangement, reduction, and Pictet-Spengler cyclization (86JHC975). 

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. ... 

Attempts have been made to cyclize oxime 336 into isoxazolo[4,3-c]pyridones (equation 125). However, only the expected Beckmann rearrangement product 337 was observed in relatively good yields . 

Similarly, the application of Tamura s Beckmann rearrangement reagent to ketones 367 and 370 afforded the appropriate lactams 368 and 371 to be cyclized to the indolizidine nucleus 369 and yilP (equations 146 and 147). 

Phenethyl ketone oximes have been cyclized by a Beckmann rearrangement to isoquinolines 477 (equation 205), but quinoline derivatives 478 can also be obtained as a result of a formal displacement at the nitrogen atom of the oxime (equation 206).

Acetaminothiophene has been prepared by a Hofmann rearrangement of thiophene-3-carboxamide (equation 49), or by a Beckmann rearrangement of the 3-acetylthiophene oxime (Section 3.14.3.4). Dimethyl 4-amino-2,3-thiophenedicarboxylate was formed in excellent yield from the oxime of the 4-ketotetrahydrothiophene diester, which is readily available by addition of thioglycolate to dimethyl fumarate, followed by a Dieckmann cyclization (equation 50 Section 3.15.2.2.2). 

These derivatives may be obtained by reduction of the appropriate nitro derivative catalytically or with a metal-acid system, or by Beckmann or Hofmann rearrangements of suitable acyl or carboxamido derivatives. 4-Aminobenzo[6]thiophene has also been prepared by means of a Bucherer reaction with 4-hydroxybenzo[6 Jthiophene. Several 5-aminobenzo[6]thiophenes have been prepared by cyclization reactions of p-acetamino-phenylthio derivatives. 6-Acetaminobenzo[6 Jthiophenes may be obtained from the corresponding 6-acetyl derivative by Schmidt or Beckmann rearrangements. 7-Aminobenzo[6 ]thiophene can also be prepared from 7-hydroxybenzo[6 ]thiophene by a Bucherer reaction (70AHC(ll)l77). 

A Beckmann rearrangement-reduction sequence has been used to access a number of substituted H- 1-benzazepine derivatives, with the required substituted a-tetralone precursors being prepared by a xanthate-based free radical cyclization process <2006BMC6165>.

It has been hypothesized that the trisoxazole moiety in kabiramide C (64) arises by cyclization of the dehydrotriserine residue 65. This conjecture is consistent with the established mode of formation of the bacterial oxazole virginia-mycin Ml 90 from an acylserine (vida infra). A more recent suggestion is that the trisoxazole 69 may arise by cyclization of the Beckmann rearrangement product 68 of the trioxime 67 derived from the polyketide 66 (27).
