Abstract

TsCl (p-toluenesulfonyl chloride), a commercially available organosulfonyl chloride, has been widely used as a stoichiometric dehydrogenation reagent in the transformation of ketoximes into corresponding amides via the Beckmann rearrangement. It has been now found to catalyze the Beckmann rearrangement with high catalytic efficiency, converting a wide range of ketoximes into their corresponding amides under mild condition with good ...
