Reaction procedures for Beckmann rearrangement and cyclization can be improved substantially if carried out under micellar/microemulsion conditions. This mode of operation allows the use of dilute acids as against the conventional highly acidic medium with ease of product recovery and yield. Experimental results for a case example of D-(-) -N-carbamoyl phenyl glycine to phenyl hydantoin are presented and analysed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
