Step-by-step solution
The reaction sequence involves the conversion of cyclohexanone to cyclohexanone oxime followed by a Beckmann rearrangement. Reaction of cyclohexanone with hydroxylamine ( NH₂OH ) forms cyclohexanone oxime (compound A). This is a standard nucleophilic addition-elimination reaction. Treatment of cyclohexanone oxime with H₂SO₄ induces the Beckmann rearrangement. In this rearrangement, the oxime undergoes an acid-catalyzed migration of an alkyl group to the nitrogen atom, followed by the addition of water to form an am
