Highly selective, efficient and expeditious Beckmann rearrangement of a wide range of ketoximes to secondary amides (20 examples) has been accomplished using stoichiometric amount of stannous chloride dihydrate in the presence of nucleophilic additive, tetra-n-butylammonium iodide (TBAI) (10 moI%) and 4 ? MS in dry acetonitrile at reflux temperature. Aldoximes delivered primary amides through intermediacy of nitriles upon heating with an equimolar amount of SnCl2·2H2O and DBU in dry toluene at reflux in good to acceptable yields (12 examples). Utilization of mild Lewis acid, inexpensive rack reagents and procedural simplicity including easy isolation of products are key advantageous features of the protocol.
