36. Several aldoximes were used as E/Z mixtures. See the Supporting Information.
37. In the case of a typical concerted Beckmann rearrangement (i.e., without intermediacy of a nitrile), only the substituent anti to the OH group would migrate, see ref 2.
38. (a) The reactions were performed in chloroform to ensure scavenging.
