Options

  1. ABayer-Villger rearrangement
  2. BBeckmann rearrangement
  3. CWolf-rearrangement
  4. DHoffmann reaction

Correct answer

B. Beckmann rearrangement

Step-by-step solution

The heating of oxime of acetone in presence of conc. H 2 S O 4 to form N-methyl ethanamide is called Beckmann rearrangement. In Beckmann rearrangement, R-migrates from carbon to nitrogen of an oxime to form N-substituted amide. Loss of H 2 O occurs with simultaneous migration of the trans-R'.
