Question
Which of the following distinct chemical named reactions strictly involve a rearrangement step within their established mechanisms?
Answer: A,C,D
💡 Solution & Explanation
The Beckmann rearrangement involves the migration of an alkyl/aryl group from carbon to nitrogen in a ketoxime. The Fries rearrangement shifts an acyl group on a phenolic ester to the aromatic ring. The Claisen rearrangement is a [1]-sigmatropic rearrangement of an allyl vinyl ether. The Cannizzaro reaction is a disproportionation involving a hydride transfer between two distinct molecules, not an internal molecular rearrangement.
