Abstract

A mild, convenient, and economical approach for the construction of amides and lactams from ketoximes via Beckmann rearrangement by using a new type of Vilsmeier reagents generated in situ from thionyl chloride and 1-methyl-pyrrolidin-2-one was reported. Various amides and lactams bearing different substituents were obtained in good to excellent yields under mild conditions, and the gram scale reaction was achieved without the loss of the yield. Moreover, it can be used in the synthesis of 2-methylbenzoxazole from 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethanone oxime.
