Abstract

Brønsted acid catalysis enables a synthesis of secondary amides from ketones under mild conditions via transoximation and Beckmann rearrangement. In this reaction, O-protected oximes serve as more stable equivalents of explosive O-protected hydroxylamines. This method can be used for amide synthesis from α-branched alkyl aryl ketones. The presence of water is essential.
