Abstract
Substoichiometric amounts of the readily available and economical geminal dichloroimidazolidinediones (DCIDs) enable an activation of the Beckmann rearrangement via a unique self-propagating mechanism. 23 rearrangements have been performed with excellent yields in a short time, including a substrate for synthesizing the monomer of nylon-12 and a complicated steroidal substrate on a preparative scale.
