Cope Rearrangement

1,5-hexadiene ⇌ 1,5-hexadiene (rearranged)

概述

The Cope rearrangement is a [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of 1,5-dienes that proceeds through a chair-like transition state. No bonds are broken or formed to reagents; the sigma bond migrates through the diene framework. The oxy-Cope variant (followed by keto-enol tautomerism) is particularly useful in synthesis.

日常示例

The Cope rearrangement demonstrates that molecules can rearrange thermally without any catalyst or reagent, just by heating.
