cobalt catalysts at 30 °C. The results of 18O-labeling experiments suggested that rearrangement of the alkoxycarbonyl group from the aniline nitrogen to the ortho position proceeded in an unprecedented [1,3] manner.

The rearrangement of a series of N,O-difunctionalized N-arylhydroxylamines to generate protected 2-aminophenols has been investigated. N-Boc-N-aryl-O-acylhydroxylamines are stable, isolable compds. which rearrange smoothly at temps. between 110 and 140°C. The corresponding N-Boc-N-aryl-O-sulfonylhydroxylamines were not isolated and rearrange to 1,2-difunctionalized aminophenols at room temp. in excellent
reported previously, our mechanistic studies including oxygen-18 labelling experiments indicate that the rearrangement of the alkoxycarbonyloxy group proceeds in [1,3]-manner. In this article, we discuss the overall picture of the cobalt-catalysed [1,3]-rearrangement reaction including details of the reaction conditions and substrate scope.
