Cornforth Rearrangement
General Characteristics Oxazole compounds containing a carbonyl group at 4-position are known to undergo thermally driven rearrangement. Thiazoles have the similar property as well. General ...
Beckmann Rearrangement
General Characteristics -The Beckmann rearrangement is the acid-induced rearrangement of oximes or its derivatives, which after hydration and tautomerization produces amides. Cyclic oximes give ...
Boyer-Schmidt-Aube Rearrangement
Characteristics Boyer-Schmidt-Aube Rearrangement is the Lewis acid-mediated reactions of simple ketones with alkyl azides. It has been shown that the Schmidt reaction of alkyl azides, a reaction ...
Dyotropic rearrangement
Characteristics In 1972, M. T. Reetz originally defined dyotropic (from the greek dyo , meaning two) rearrangements as a new class of pericyclic valence isomerizations in which two σ ...
