Willgerodt-Kindler Reaction Mechanism:
The willgerodt rearrangement reaction belongs to the rearrengment reaction. The mechanism’s first step is the formation of an enamine from ketone and amine, which undergoes thiation. And gives an intermediate thio-substituted iminium-aziridinium which will rearrange and give thioamide.
After hydrolysis of thioamide, corresponding amide will form.
