Abstract

Attempted Beckmann rearrangement of the 6-methoxyindanone oximes in conventional conditions resulted in the formation of the two kinds of unexpected products: 2- sulfonyloxyindanone and the dimeric product. Related rearrangement was also observed in the reaction with RhCl–trifluoromethansulfonic acid system.
