The Cope rearrangement is the prototypical example of a concerted sigmatropic rearrangement. It is classified as a [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement with the Woodward–Hoffmann symbol [π 2 s + σ 2 s + π 2 s] and is therefore thermally allowed.
The Cope rearrangement is an extensively studied organic reaction involving the [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement of 1,5-dienes. [ 14 ] [ 15 ] [ 16 ] It was developed by Arthur C. Cope . For example, 3,4-dimethyl-1,5-hexadiene heated to 300 °C yields 2,6-octadiene.
In organic chemistry, the oxy-Cope rearrangement is a chemical reaction.It involves reorganization of the skeleton of certain unsaturated alcohols. It is a variation of the Cope rearrangement in which 1,5-dien-3-ols are converted to unsaturated carbonyl compounds by a mechanism typical for such a [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement.
The aza-Cope rearrangements are predicted by the Woodward-Hoffman rules to proceed suprafacially. However, while never explicitly studied, Overman and coworkers have hypothesized that, as with the base-catalyzed oxy-Cope rearrangement, the charged atom distorts the sigmatropic rearrangement from a purely concerted reaction mechanism (as expected in the Cope rearrangement), to one with partial ...
Molecular Rearrangements in Three Carbon Systems (1942) Elizabeth MacGregor Hardy (July 31, 1915 – June 26, 2008) [ 1 ] was a Canadian-American chemist who discovered the Cope rearrangement while working in Arthur C. Cope 's research group at Bryn Mawr College .
The divinylcyclopropane-cycloheptadiene rearrangement is an organic chemical transformation that involves the isomerization of a 1,2-divinylcyclopropane into a cycloheptadiene or -triene. It is conceptually related to the Cope rearrangement , but has the advantage of a strong thermodynamic driving force due to the release of ring strain.
The Cope reaction or Cope elimination, developed by Arthur C. Cope, is the elimination reaction of an N-oxide to an alkene and a hydroxylamine. [1] [2] [3] [4]
The first reported Claisen rearrangement is the [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of an allyl phenyl ether to intermediate 1, which quickly tautomerizes to a 2-allylphenol.. The Claisen rearrangement can occur in domino fashion with a Cope rearrangement, in which case the allyl group appears to attack the para position on the ring: [12]
