Migration to an electron-poor atom

In the heteroatom rearrangements of this topic a group moves with its bonding pair from carbon to a neighbouring atom that is losing a leaving group: oxygen in the Baeyer–Villiger oxidation, nitrogen in the Beckmann, Curtius, Hofmann and Schmidt reactions. The Criegee intermediate shown forms when mCPBA adds to acetophenone. Its O–O bond is weak and the far oxygen leaves as m-chlorobenzoate, so the near oxygen becomes electron-poor. The phenyl group, anti-periplanar to the O–O bond, slides onto that oxygen as the bond breaks, and the hydroxyl lone pair re-forms C=O. The migrating group never leaves the molecule, so a migrating stereocentre keeps its configuration.

Anti to the leaving group

An oxime rearranges to an amide once its oxygen becomes a leaving group, by protonation in sulfuric acid or by bonding to phosphorus in PCl5. The C–C bond that migrates is the one anti-periplanar to the N–O bond, because only that σ bond overlaps with the back lobe of the breaking N–O bond. The C=N geometry therefore decides the product: an (E)-ketoxime and its (Z)-isomer give different amides, whatever the migratory aptitudes. Cyclohexanone oxime is symmetrical, so either ring bond gives the same result. Migration inserts nitrogen into the ring, water captures the nitrilium ion, and tautomerisation gives ε-caprolactam, the seven-membered lactam behind nylon 6.

Isocyanates: three roads, one intermediate

The Curtius, Hofmann and Lossen rearrangements start from different acyl derivatives: an acyl azide, an N-bromoamide anion and an O-acyl hydroxamic acid. Each has an acyl nitrogen carrying a leaving group (N2, bromide or a carboxylate). The group on the carbonyl carbon migrates to that nitrogen as the leaving group departs, and the nitrogen lone pair forms C=N, giving an isocyanate R–N=C=O. Benzoyl azide, N-bromobenzamide and O-acetylbenzohydroxamic acid all give the phenyl isocyanate shown. Water adds to the isocyanate carbon to make a carbamic acid that loses CO2, so the amine has one carbon fewer than the acid derivative; an alcohol instead gives a stable carbamate.

Carbon skeleton classics

Some rearrangements move a group from carbon to carbon. In the Favorskii reaction an α-halo ketone with an α′ hydrogen is deprotonated, and the enolate displaces the halide internally to give a cyclopropanone; from 2-chlorocyclohexanone this is the bicyclic ketone shown. Alkoxide adds to the strained carbonyl and the three-membered ring opens to the more stable carbanion, so a cyclic substrate contracts by one ring atom to an ester. The Wolff rearrangement moves a group onto a carbon losing N2 to make a ketene, the Tiffeneau–Demjanov reaction moves a ring bond onto a CH2 losing N2, and the dienone–phenol rearrangement shifts a methyl so that a blocked ring can become aromatic.

What to carry forward

Find the electron-poor atom that is losing a leaving group, pick the group anti-periplanar to that bond, and move it with its bonding pair; let the neighbouring oxygen or nitrogen lone pair stabilise the new cationic centre, then finish with the proton transfers of the medium.
