Nano silica-H2SO4 is an efficient and mild catalysis system for the regeneration of aldehyde from aldoximes. Ketoximes are converted to amides by Beckmann rearrangement in the presence of nano silica-H2SO4. The reactions are carried out in solvent-free conditions under microwave irradiation (600 W) within 50-120 sec in good yields.
The oxidation process of benzylic halides especially benzylic bromide to corresponding carbonyl compounds such as aldehydes and ketones is a worthwhile and important organic reaction in industrial and laboratory synthetic organic chemistry. In the present study, an efficient and novel method to obtain carbonyl compounds using benzyl bromide with a catalytic amount of chromium complexes […]
