Zusammenfassung

Es wird ein Mechanismus für die sauer-catalysierende Aromatisierung der Oxime (Wolff-Aromatisierung) vorgeschlagen, der es erlaubt, z. B. die Beckmann-Umlagerungsprozesse und Fragmentierungen entsprechend den heutigen Erkenntnissen aufzufassen. Die einschlägige moderne Literatur wird im Sinn dieser neuen Beziehungen interpretiert.
