You will see that useful rearrangements occur under both acidic and basic conditions, and our goal is to introduce you to some of the most popular rearrangements for synthesis. This generally involves a leaving group on an atom adjacent to a rearrangement promoting atom, generally an O or N.

Rearrangement reactions can accompany many of the reactions we’ve previously covered such as substitution, addition, and elimination reactions. 1. Substitution (SN1) (See post: Alkyl Halides From Alcohols) 2. Elimination (E1) (See post: Elimination (E1) With Rearrangement) 3. Alkene addition reactions (See post: Rearrangements in Alkene Addition Re...
In fact, if you don’t look closely, sometimes you can miss the fact that a rearrangement reaction has occurred. Let’s look at a substitution reaction first. On the top is a “typical” substitution reaction: we’re taking an alkyl halide and adding water. The C-Br bond is broken and a C-OH bond is formed. If you look at the table on the right you’ll s...
Let’s look at another example, but involving an addition reaction (the addition of HCl to alkenes). Here we have an addition reaction. On top, nothing special – as with all additions, we break a C-C double bond (π bond )and form two new single bonds to the adjoining carbons (H and Cl). But look at the bottom example. If we use that alkene instead, ...
Finally, let’s look at an elimination reaction. If you take an alcohol like the one below and add an acid (like H2SO4, pictured) and help the reaction along with some heat, you break the C1-OH and C2-H bonds, and form a new double bond between C1-C2. This is, in other words, a typical elimination reaction. But if you take a slightly modified alcoho...
Sigmatropic rearrangements are intramolecular reactions involving the migration of a sigma bond across a pi system. Examples include hydrogen atoms migrating across dienes upon heating (some even do this spontaneously at room temperature) and hydrogen atoms migrating across alkenes with light.
Sep 19, 2017 · Let’s visit the specific rearrangement step in the Hofmann and Curtius rearrangements with concrete examples. Here’s the key step in the Hofmann, where heating results in breakage of C-C , formation of C-N, and breakage of N-Br.
Jan 23, 2023 · A rearrangement reaction is a broad class of organic reactions where the carbon skeleton of a molecule is rearranged to give a structural isomer of the original molecule. Often a substituent moves from one atom to another atom in the same molecule.
The Fries Rearrangement enables the preparation of acyl phenols. Mechanism of the Fries Rearrangement The reaction is catalyzed by Brønsted or Lewis acids such as HF, AlCl 3 , BF 3 , TiCl 4 or SnCl 4 .

What is a Hofmann rearrangement?
What is a retrosynthetic rearrangement?
Rearrangement reactions mostly involve breaking and/or making C—C, C—O, or C—N bonds. The migration origin is the atom from which the group moves, and the migration terminus is the atom to which it migrates.
