- Lossen rearrangement
The Lossen rearrangement is the
chemical reaction of ahydroxamic acid 1 with a dehydration agent (such astosyl chloride ) to form the O-derivative 2, which spontaneously rearranges to form anisocyanate 3.Ref|Lossen1872Ref|Lossen1874Several reviews have been published.Ref|Yale1943Ref|Bauer1974Ref|Shiori1991
Hydroxamic acids are commonly synthesized from their corresponding
ester s.Ref|Hauser1939References
