Willgerodt‐Kindler Reac1on
Yong Guan Jan. 30, 2009
Introduc5on
• The Willgerodt rearrangement or Willgerodt reac5on is an organic reac5on conver5ng an aryl alky ketone to the corresponding amide by reac5on with ammonium polysulfide, named aEer Conrad Willgerodt.
• The related Willgerodt‐Kindler reac5on takes place with elemental sulfur and an amine like morpholine. The reac5on is named aEer Karl Kindler.
