Abstract
Under mild conditions and without any additional organic solvents, Beckmann rearrangements of several ketoximes were performed in the catalytic media consisting of room temperature ionic liquid based on 1,3-dialkylimidazolium or alkylpyridinium salts and phosphorated compounds. Excellent conversion and selectivity was achieved for cyclohexanone oxime as the substrate, whil e Beckmann fragmentation of cyclopentanone oxime was observed. (C) 2001 Els evier Science Ltd.
