Induktive und sterische Effekte bei der BECKMANN‐CHAPMAN‐Umlagerung von Alkyl‐ketoxim‐pikryläthern

Abstract
The rates of the BECKMANN‐CHAPMAN rearrangement of the ketoximpicryl‐ethers 1a–1k in 1, 4‐dichlorobutane are correlated with parameters describing the bulk of the substituted groups R and R′. From regression analyses it is concluded that the relative rate constants are mainly controlled by steric contributions in the ground state, such as geminal interactions of R with R′ and vicinal interactions of R′ with OX, and less by inductive effects.Conformational equilibria between (Z)‐ and (E)‐isomers of N‐alkyl‐N‐picryl‐amids have been studied by NMR. in several solvents.
