Regioselective Beckmann rearrangements were used as key steps in the synthesis of phosphonoalkyl azepinones (Scheme 36) [43b] and in a formal total synthesis of the protein kinase C inhibitor balanol (Scheme 37) the optically active azide 197 derived from cyclohexadiene mono-oxide was converted into ketone 198 in several steps. After preparation of the oxime tosylates 199 (2.3 1 mixture), a Lewis acid mediated regioselective Beckmann rearrangement gave the lactams 200 and 201 in 66% and 9% yield, respectively. Lactam 201 underwent a 3-e im-ination to give additional 200, which served as a key intermediate in a balanol precursor synthesis (Scheme 37) [43 cj. 

A modification of this method, related to the Beckmann rearrangement, entails treatment of a ketoxime with one equivalent of CDI, then four to five equivalents of a reactive halide such as allyl bromide or methyl iodide (R3X) under reflux in acetonitrile for 0.5-1.5 h. Quatemization of the imidazole ring effectively promotes the reaction by increasing the electron-withdrawing effect. The target amides then are obtained by hydrolysis. High yields, neutral conditions, and a very simple procedure make this modification of the synthesis of amides by azolides a very useful alternative. 1243... 

The stereochemical use of the Beckmann rearrangement in assigning configuration to ketoximes has already been referred to, and it also has a large-scale application in the synthesis of the textile polymer Nylon-6 from cyclohexanone oxime (78) via the cyclic amide (lactam, 79) ...

Beckmann rearrangement of oxime is an acid catalysed reaction. The environmental problems associated with the use of sulphuric acid instigated interest to use number of solid acid catalysts [1], There are only scanty references about Lewis acid ion-exchanged MeAlPOs. Beyer et al. [2], Mihalyi et al. [3] and Mavrodinova et al. [4] already suggested the presence of Lewis acid metal ions as MO+ species in zeolites. The present study focussed the synthesis and characterisation of Fe3+, La3+ and Ce3+ ion-exchanged MAPO-36. The catalytic results of Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime over ion-exchanged catalysts are delineated in this article. 

Conceptually interesting is the synthesis of the oxazole system 94 through a Beckmann rearrangement of a-formyl ketoxime dimethyl acetals 93 which demonstrated the possibility of a non-amino acid pathway in the biosynthesis of marine derived oxazoles <06CC1742>. 

A simple montmorillonite K 10 clay surface is one among numerous acidic supports that have been explored for the Beckmann rearrangement of oximes (Scheme 6.27) [54]. However, the conditions are not adaptable for the aldoximes that are readily dehydrated to the corresponding nitriles under solventless conditions. Zinc chloride has been used in the above rearrangement for benzaldehyde and 2-hydroxyacetophe-none, the later being adapted for the synthesis of benzoxazoles. 

Acid catalysis by titanium silicate molecular sieves another area characterized by recent major progress. Whereas only two categories of acid-catalyzed reactions (the Beckmann rearrangement and MTBE synthesis) were included in the review by Notari in 1996 (33), the list has grown significantly since then. In view of the presence of weak Lewis acid sites on the surfaces of these catalysts, they can be used for reactions that require such weak acidity. 

In the field of fine chemical synthesis there is an urgent need to substitute the cleaner technologies for the old polluting ones. It is hoped that the large economic and environmental benefits brought by the recently developed catalysis processes—acetylation of anisole and of veratrole, Beckmann rearrangement, and so forth—will initiate great strides in this field. 

Oximino cyanoacetate or malonate esters (Me02CC(CN)=N0Ts or (Me02C)2C= NOCOPh) reacted with diazoaUcanes (RCHN2) to give unstable 1,2,3-triazolines . Synthesis of Al-imidoylbenzotriazoles via benzotriazole-mediated Beckmann rearrangement of oximes is also described . ... 

Acidic zeolites, K-10 clay and silica are highly active and selective catalysts for the dehydration/Beckmann rearrangement reactions of aldoxhnes (benzaldoxime and 4-methoxybenzaldoxime) for the synthesis of nitriles and amides . 

By this strategy, anilines 299 can be obtained from aromatics ketones 300 (equation 104). The Beckmann rearrangement/hydrolysis sequence is able to replace an acyl group by an amine and has been used in aromatic synthesis to attach directly nitrogen atoms to aromatic rings, providing an alternative strategy to the classical nitration/reduction sequence. 

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 . ... 

Beckmann rearrangements are useful to produce cycloalkylamines from ketoximes. This strategy was applied to produce cyclobutylamine derivatives 328 from the corresponding acyl derivatives during the synthesis of 4(3//)-quinazolinones " (equation 121).
