Abstract
BF3·OEt2 (Boron trifluoride etherate), an inexpensive and commercially easily available Lewis acid stoichiometrically employed for Beckamann rearrangement in general, was now found to efficiently catalyze Beckmann rearrangement of ketoximes into their corresponding amides (up to 99% yield) in anhydrous acetonitrile under reflux temperature.
