The Boekelheide reaction is a rearrangement of α-picoline-N-oxides to hydroxymethylpyridines. It is named after Virgil Boekelheide who first reported it in 1954.[1] Originally the reaction was carried out using acetic anhydride, which typically required a period at reflux (~140°C). The reaction can be performed using trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA), which often allows for a room temperature reaction.[2]

Mechanism

The mechanism of the Boekelheide reaction begins by an acyl transfer from the trifluoroacetic anhydride to the N-oxide oxygen. The α-methyl carbon is then deprotonated by the trifluoroacetate anion. This sets the molecule up for a [3.3]-sigmatropic rearrangement which furnishes the trifluoroacetylated methylpyridine. Hydrolysis of the trifluoroacetate releases the hydroxymethylpyridine.
