A new and concise way to enamides by fluoroalkanosulfonyl fluoride mediated Beckmann rearrangement of α,β-unsaturated ketoximes

The reaction of α,β-unsaturated ketoximes with fluoroalkanosulfonyl fluorides in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) underwent the Beckmann rearrangement smoothly to afford the corresponding acid-sensitive enamides in moderate to excellent yields, which provides a new efficient method for the preparation of acid-sensitive enamides.
