Exercise 3.3.7 3.3. 7. Propose a mechanism and the product for the following reaction. Answer. Wolff rearrangements are also useful for ring contraction reactions. As shown below, treating an alpha diazoketone with heat or light in methanol promotes the rearrangement to yield the contracted ester product.
Versatile reaction to make lactams and amides. Prepared starting from hydroxime, with many leaving groups possible. Alkyl group that migrates does so with retention of configuration, and is always anti to the oxime leaving group. E. Beckmann, Ber.

The reaction below is called the Cope Rearrangement. In this reaction, one heats a 1,5-diene to a temperature of 150° C (or higher) whereupon the starting material gives the rearranged product. Ta-daa!! The example above is the simplest possible example (the “degenerate” Cope rearrangement) where it is just rearranging into itself. If you were to j...
The product of a Cope rearrangement will also be a 1,5-diene, and therefore be capable of undergoing the reverse reaction. The product distribution will therefore reflect an equilibriumbetween the starting material and the rearranged product. In the degenerate Cope rearrangement (above) it’s impossible to see if anything is happening because the st...
A Cope rearrangement that really puts its elbow on the scale towards formation of a single product has a C-C sigma bond that is part of a strained ring system. This rearrangement of “cis-divinylcyclopropane” occurs below room temperature. [Note 5] Look closely! Despite the somewhat strange appearance of the reaction, it’s the same pattern of bonds ...
In the example above we saw that even a humble methyl group at C-3 was sufficient to give a useful 5:1 ratio of Cope Rearrangement products. Along these lines, it was reported by the late, great Prof. Jerome Berson (and his postdoc Prof. Maitland Jones, of NYU and textbook fame) in 1964 that the Cope rearrangement of a 3-hydroxy substituted 1,5-die...
A cousin of the Cope rearrangement is a slightly older process (1912) known as the Claisen rearrangement. (Yes, this is the same Ludwig Claisenresponsible for the Claisen condensation). It’s also a pericyclic reaction. In the Claisen rearrangement, a vinyl allyl ether is heated to give a gamma, delta (γ,δ) unsaturated carbonyl. 1. A C-C sigma bond,...
Aromatic pi systems can also participate in the Claisen Rearrangement. Heating allyl phenyl ether [Note 11] leads to a Claisen rearrangement resulting in a gamma, delta unsaturated lactone. Although the Claisen rearrangement stops there, a second reaction immediately occurs (and can’t be stopped). If you’ve covered aromaticity, then you’ll recogniz...
As it turns out, the Claisen Rearrangement occurs in living organisms. As you might expect, rather than endure heating to 150°C, Nature has discovered a way to catalyze the reaction with an enzyme. Below is drawn the rearrangement of chorismate to prephenate. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme chorismate mutase, which leads to a rate accelera...
We have really just barely dented the surface of the Cope and Claisen rearrangements here, but for most students in introductory courses this will be enough. 1. Like all pericyclic reactions, the Cope and Claisen rearrangements are subject to the Woodward-Hoffman rules concerning orbital symmetry. The orbital symmetry of the Cope and Claisen rearra...
The activation energy of the Cope is about 33 kcal/mol. The activation energy of the Claisen rearrangement is about 30 kcal/mol. [Refs] Note 1. IUPAC defines a “sigmatropic rearrangement” as a pericyclic reaction involving both breaking and formation of a new σ bond in which the total number of π and σ bonds do not change. Note 2. One could observe...
Being pericyclic reactions, and therefore relatives of the Diels-Alder reaction, you’d figure that orbital symmetry had to appear somewhere to allow us to rationalize why the Cope and Claisen rearrangements are “thermally allowed”. The easiest way to come up with the orbitals for these reactions is to imagine them as two allyl fragments combining w...
3. Some more examples of rearrangement occurring in E1 reactions: Predict the major product when each of the following alcohols is treated with H 2 SO 4: 2. Draw a suitable mechanism for each transformation: The answers can be found under the Dehydration of Alcohols by E1 and E2 Elimination with Practice Problems post.
Oct 17, 2011 · Introduction to Rearrangement Reactions. Reactions that involve a carbocation intermediate may be accompanied by rearrangements where a pair of electrons from a C-H or C-C bond migrates toward the carbocation, resulting in breakage and formation of a C-H or C-C bond, and formation of a new carbocation. The new carbocation (generally more stable ...
The term “rearrangement” is used to describe two different types of organic chemical reactions. A rearrangement may involve the one -step migration of an H atom or of a larger molecular fragment within a relatively short lived intermediate. On the other hand, a rearrangement may be a multi-step reaction that includes the migration of an H ...

A 1,2-rearrangement is an organic reaction where a substituent moves from one atom to another atom in a chemical compound. In a 1,2 shift the movement involves two adjacent atoms but moves over larger distances are possible. Skeletal isomerization is not normally encountered in the laboratory, but is the basis of large applications in oil ...
