Beckmann Rearrangement of Ketoximes Induced by Phenyl Dichlorophosphate at Ambient Temperature

Abstract

Upon treatment with phenyl dichlorophosphate (PhOP=OCl2) in acetonitrile at ambient temperature, a variety of ketoximes underwent a Beckmann rearrangement in an effective manner to afford the corresponding amides in moderate to high yields.
