The 1,2-rearrangement belongs to a broad class of chemical reactions called rearrangement reactions. A rearrangement involving a hydrogen atom is called a 1,2-hydride shift. If the substituent being rearranged is an alkyl group, it is named according to the alkyl group's anion: i.e. 1,2-methanide shift, 1,2-ethanide shift, etc.
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 ...
A 1,2-Wittig rearrangement is a categorization of chemical reactions in organic chemistry, and consists of a 1,2-rearrangement of an ether with an alkyllithium compound. [1] The reaction is named for Nobel Prize winning chemist Georg Wittig. [2] [3] The intermediate is an alkoxy lithium salt, and the final product an alcohol.
A [1,5] shift involves the shift of 1 substituent (hydride, alkyl, or aryl) down 5 atoms of a π system. Hydrogen has been shown to shift in both cyclic and open-chain compounds at temperatures at or above 200 ˚C. [4] These reactions are predicted to proceed suprafacially, via a Hückel-topology transition state. [1,5] hydride shift in a ...
An alkyl group which is situated trans- to the leaving –OH group may migrate to the carbocation center, but cis- alkyl groups migrate at a very low rate. In the absence of trans- alkyl groups, ring contraction may occur as the major product instead, i.e. the ring carbon itself may migrate.
A Wagner–Meerwein rearrangement is a class of carbocation 1,2-rearrangement reactions in which a hydrogen, alkyl or aryl group migrates from one carbon to a neighboring carbon. [1] [2] They can be described as cationic [1,2]-sigmatropic rearrangements, proceeding suprafacially and with stereochemical retention.
The stepwise mechanism begins with nitrogen extrusion, forming an α-ketocarbene. The α-ketocarbene can either undergo a 1,2-alkyl shift, to give the ketene product, or can undergo a 4π electrocyclic ring closure, to form an antiaromatic oxirene. This oxirene can reopen in two ways, to either α-ketocarbene, which can then form the ketene ...
An allylic rearrangement or allylic shift is an organic chemical reaction in which reaction at a center vicinal to a double bond causes the double bond to shift to an adjacent pair of atoms: It is encountered in both nucleophilic and electrophilic substitution , although it is usually suppressed relative to non-allylic substitution.
