Definition

  • 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. Three key rearrangement reactions are 1,2-rearrangements, pericyclic reactions and olefin metathesis. (From DBpedia)
