Neber rearrangement
The Neber rearrangement is an organic reaction in which an ketoxime is converted into an alpha-aminoketone via a rearrangement reaction.[1][2][3]
The oxime is first converted to a O-sulfonate, for example a tosylate by reaction with tosyl chloride. Added base forms a carbanion which displaces the tosylate group in a nucleophilic displacement to an azirine and added water subsequently hydrolyses it to the aminoketone.
The Beckmann rearrangement is a side reaction.
