The Lossen rearrangement is the conversion of a betaxamic acid (1) to an isocyanate (3) via the formation of an O-acyl, sulfonyl, or phosphoryl intermediate hydroxamic acid O-derivative (2) and then conversion to its conjugate base. Here, 4-toluenesulfonyl chloride is used to form a sulfonyl Ortho-derivative of hydroxamic acid. The isocyanate can be used further to generate ureas in the presence of amines (4) or generate amines in the presence of H2O (5). ==Reaction mechanism for Lossen rearrangement== The mechanism below begins with an O-acylated hydroxamic acid derivative that is treated with base to form an isocyanate that generates an amine and CO2 gas in the presence of H2O. The hydroxamic acid acid derivative is first converted to its conjugate base by abstraction of a hydrogen by a base. Spontaneous rearrangement kicks off a carboxylate anion to produce the isocyanate intermediate. The isocyanate in the presence H2O hydrolyzes and then decarboxylation via abstraction of a hydrogen by a base generates an amine and CO2 gas. Several reviews have been published. Hydroxamic acids are commonly synthesized from their corresponding esters.〔Hauser, C. R.; Renfrow, Jr., W. B. ''Organic Syntheses'', Coll. Vol. 2, p. 67 (1943); Vol. 19, p. 15 (1939).
