Abstract

The Beckmann rearrangement of oximes is catalyzed by a combined use of tetrabutylammonium perrhenate (Bu₄NReO₄) and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid in nitromethane under azeotropic conditions, giving amides in high yield. By employing this catalytic system, amides can be prepared directly from ketones and hydroxylamine hydrochloride.
