beckmann rearrangement
The Beckmann rearrangement refers to a chemical reaction that involves the conversion of a ketoxime (a compound containing a nitrogen-oxygen double bond) into the corresponding amide by rearranging its molecular structure. This rearrangement is typically facilitated by the use of acid catalysts and involves the migration of a substituent group from the nitrogen atom to the carbonyl carbon atom.
