When generating a carbocation as part of an S N 1 and/or E1 reaction, you were told to "beware of rearrangement". Thus, you analyzed the structure to determine the type of carbocation generated (primary, secondary, tertiary, and/or resonance stabilized) and looked to the adjacent carbons (the alpha carbons) to see if they would be a more stable carbocation (more highly substituted or resonance ...
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.

On the other hand, a rearrangement may be a multi-step reaction that includes the migration of an H atom or of a larger molecular fragment as one of its steps. In many rearrangements, the migrating group connects to one of the direct neighbours of the atom to which it was originally attached. Rearrangements of this type are the so-called [1,2] – re...
Curtius’ reaction involves the heating of an acyl azide which loses nitrogen and then rearranges to an isocyanate. RCON3 → R-N=C=O + N2 If the reaction is performed in an alcoholic or aqueous medium, the isocyanate further reacts to form urethane, amine or substituted urea. The conversion of acyl azides to isocyanates involves Curtius rearrangement...
The classical Claisen rearrangement is the first and slow step of the isomerization of allyl aryl ethers to ortho allylated phenols. A cyclohexadienone is formed in the actual rearrangement step which is a [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. Three valence electron pairs are shifted simultaneously. Cyclohexadienone, a non-aromatic compound, cannot be i...
In the Beckmann rearrangement , an oxime is converted to an amide . An oxime is easily obtained by treatment of aldehyde or ketone with hydroxylamine. The OH group of ketoximes can become a leaving group. The Beckmann rearrangement of cyclic oximes results in lactams. The comparison of the structure of the starting ketone with those of the products...
The Hofmann rearrangement results from the treatment of a primary amide with bromine and hydroxide ion in water, ultimately forming an amine in which the carbonyl group of the starting amide has been lost. Thus, the Hofmann rearrangement results in a shortening of the carbon chain by one atom and a change in functional group from an amide to an ami...
Pericyclic reactions are defined as the reactions that occur by a concerted cyclic shift of electrons. This definition states two key points that characterize a pericyclic reaction. 1. First point is that reaction is concerted. In concerted reaction, reactant bonds are broken and product bonds are formed at the same time without intermediates. 2. S...
Many photoreactions are known to interconvert isomeric compounds. The term “rearrangement” is more general than “isomerization” but for the reactions under photochemical rearrangement will not be concerned with a distinction between these terms. For convenience, we shall classify primary photochemical rearrangements as the following types. 1. Cis t...
A synthesis reaction is a chemical reaction that results in the synthesis (joining) of components that were formerly separate (Figure 2.3.1 a). Again, nitrogen and hydrogen are reactants in a synthesis reaction that yields ammonia as the product. The general equation for a synthesis reaction is A + B→AB.

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 ...

Aug 14, 2020 · A hydrolysis reaction is a type of decomposition reaction that uses water. In the dehydration synthesis (de- = “off, remove”; hydrate = “water”) shown in figure 3.2.2 3.2. 2, two monomers are covalently bonded in a reaction in which one gives up a hydroxyl ion (-OH -) and the other a hydrogen ion (-H +).
