Question
What is rearrangement reaction?
Open in App
Solution
A reaction in which an atom or bond moves or migrates, having been initially located at one site in a reactant molecule and ultimately located at a different site in a product molecule. A rearrangement reaction may involve several steps, but the key feature defining it as a rearrangement is that a bond shifts from one site of attachment to another. The simplest examples of rearrangement reactions are intramolecular, that is, reactions in which the product is simply a structural isomer of the reactant.
