Fischer-Hepp rearrangementThe Fischer-Hepp rearrangement is a rearrangement reaction in which an aromatic N-nitroso or nitrosamine converts to a carbon nitroso compound:[1][2] Additional recommended knowledgeThis organic reaction was first described by the German chemist Otto Philipp Fischer and Eduard Hepp[3] in 1886, and is of importance because para-NO secondary anilines cannot be prepared in a direct reaction. The rearrangement reaction takes place by reacting the nitrosamine precursor with hydrochloric acid. The chemical yield in general are good under these conditions, but often much poorer if a different acid is used. The exact reaction mechanism is unknown but there is evidence suggesting an intramolecular reaction. References |
