The Beckmann rearrangement scheme for acetophenone oxime under oxonium–acetic acid complex and hydronium–water complex. With the cyclohexanone-oxime, the relief of ring strain results in a third reaction mechanism, leading directly to the protonated caprolactam in a single concerted step without the intermediate formation of a π-complex or ...
In organic chemistry, an oxime is an organic compound belonging to the imines, with the general formula RR’C=N−OH, where R is an organic side-chain and R' may be hydrogen, forming an aldoxime, or another organic group, forming a ketoxime. O-substituted oximes form a closely related family of compounds.
Acetophenone is formed as a byproduct of the cumene process, the industrial route for the synthesis of phenol and acetone.In the Hock rearrangement of isopropylbenzene hydroperoxide, migration of a methyl group rather than the phenyl group gives acetophenone and methanol as a result of an alternate rearrangement of the intermediate:
The Knorr pyrrole synthesis is a widely used chemical reaction that synthesizes substituted pyrroles (3). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The method involves the reaction of an α- amino - ketone (1) and a compound containing an electron-withdrawing group (e.g. an ester as shown) α to a carbonyl group (2) .
The initial product is a thioamide for example that of acetophenone [7] which can again be hydrolyzed to the amide. The reaction is named after Karl Kindler The Kindler modification of the Willgerodt rearrangement. A possible reaction mechanism for the Kindler variation is depicted below: [8] The likely reaction mechanism for the Kindler ...
The Baker-Venkataraman rearrangement mechanism. To complete the construction of the chromone or flavone core, cyclodehydration is required. This was commonly afforded by treatment with strong acid, however many milder conditions have now been developed. One proposed mechanism for this dehydration is as follows:
A reaction mechanism identified a N,O-dicationic intermediate A with excess acid capable of ring-closing and a monocationic intermediate B which fragments to aniline and (ultimately to) acetophenone. Aniline reacts with another equivalent of benzoylacetanilide before forming the 4-hydroxyquinoline. Staskun 1964 Knorr cyclization reaction mechanism
The reaction mechanism for the Johnson–Corey–Chaykovsky reaction consists of nucleophilic addition of the ylide to the carbonyl or imine group. A negative charge is transferred to the heteroatom and because the sulfonium cation is a good leaving group it gets expelled forming the ring.
