Abstract

We reported in this paper the role of inorganic acid, H2SO4,as a catalyst in Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime into ipsiron-caprolactam. Density functional theory calculation revealed that proton transfer between H2SO4 and cyclohexanone oxime occurred during the rearrangement reaction. H2SO4 act as both a donor and acceptor of proton for cyclohexanone oxime during the rearrangement reaction. This functional of H2SO4 would be one of cause of the acid catalytic activity.
