Abstract
An efficient Beckmann rearrangement at room temperature involves an eosin Y catalyzed, visible-light-mediated in situ formation of the Vilsmeier-Haack reagent from CBr4 and a catalytic amount of DMF. This operationally simple method for the activation of ketoximes avoids the need for any corrosive, water-sensitive reagents and elevated temperatures.
