ORGANIC CHEMISTRY --- A GLANCE


  HOFMANN DEGRADATION

 
                                                                                  AMIDES WITH NO SUBSTITUTIONON NITROGEN REACT WITH THE SOLUTION OF BROMINE OR CHLORINE IN NaOH OR KOH  TOYIELD AMINES THROUGH A REACTION KNOWN AS THE HOFMANN DEGRADATION
 
    R-C=O-NH2 + Br2 + 4NaOH ---------------->  R-NH2 + 2NaBr + Na2CO3 + 2H2O
 
 

SCHIMDT REARRANGEMENT

                                                                                       THE REACTION OF CARBOXYLIC ACID WITH HYDRAZOIC ACID IN THE PRESENCE OF COCENTRATED SULPHURIC ACID TO GIVE ISOCYNATES IS KNOWN AS
SCIMDT REARRANGEMENT. IT OFFERS A CONVENIENT METHOD FOR THE CONVERSION OF ACIDS INTO p-AMINES AND HAS THE ADVANTAGE OVER HOFFMAN DUE TO BEING A ONE STEP REACTION.
 
   
   C6H5COOH  +  N3H  --------------->   C6H5-NH2 
 

THE BECKMANN REARRANGEMENT

                                                                                                            THE ACID CATALYSED CONVERSION OF CYTOXIMES TO n-SUBSTITUTED AMIDES IS CALLED  THE BECKMANN REARRANGEMENT...  ACID CATALYSED USED ARE PROTON ACIDS( H2SO4, HCl, )  AND LEWIS ACIDS ( PCl5 , RCOCl)
 
  C6H5-C=(N-OH) ------------>   CH3-COO-NH + C6H5
