Microporous carbon catalysts with large surface areas (800-1100 m(2) g(-1)) and high densities of SO3H groups (ca. 1.1 mmol g(-1)) were synthesized by sulfonation of zeolite-templated microporous carbon. The resulting SO3H-bearing microporous carbon catalysts exhibited higher catalytic performance for the hydrolysis of cellobiose and the Beckmann rearrangement than conventional solid acid catal...

The title compound, C(32)H(49)ClO(4), was obtained along with nitrile and lactam products in the POCl(3)-catalysed Beckmann rearrangement from 3β-acet-oxy-12-hydroxyiminoolean-28-olic acid methyl ester. The mechanism of the transformation leading to the title compound remains unclear and requires further investigation. Rings A, B and E are in chair conformations, ring C has a twisted-boat confo...

Primary aromatic amides are valuable compounds, which are generally prepared via Beckmann rearrangement of oximes and the hydration of nitriles in organic solvents. We investigated the environmentally friendly catalytic aminocarbonylation in water. Thus, a novel heterogeneous transition-metal catalyst, a polymer-supported terpyridine–palladium(II) complex, was prepared and found to promote azid...

Abstract In this work we studied the reactivity of Trifluoroacetic acid hydroxylamine system in one step salt free synthesis amides from ketones. A particular regards was paid to caprolactam because its industrial relevance. Synthesis, and characterization trifluoroacetate is given. Fast oximation reaction several ketones gained at room temperature (1 h quantitative conversion for ketones). sam...
