Bamberger rearrangement

The Bamberger rearrangement is the chemical reaction of phenylhydroxylamines with strong aqueous acid, which will rearrange to give 4-aminophenols.^[1] It is named for the German chemist Eugen Bamberger (1857–1932).^[2]^[3]

The starting phenylhydroxylamines are typically synthesized by the transfer hydrogenation of nitrobenzenes using rhodium^[4] or zinc^[5] catalysts.

One application is in the synthesis of fenhexamid [fr].

Reaction mechanism

The mechanism of the Bamberger rearrangement proceeds from the monoprotonation of N-phenylhydroxylamine 1. N-protonation 2 is favored, but unproductive. O-protonation 3 can form the nitrenium ion 4, which can react with nucleophiles (H₂O) to form the desired 4-aminophenol 5.^[6]^[7]
