The Beckmann rearrangement allows the conversion of aldoximes and ketoximes to the corresponding amides in acidic medium. The stereochemical outcome of this rearrangement is predictable: the R group anti to the leaving group on the nitrogen will migrate. If the oxime isomerizes under the reaction conditions, a mixture of the two possible amides is obtained. In this video, I talk about the of the Beckmann rearrangement.
