A.
Stork–Danheiser rearrangement
The Stork–Danheiser rearrangement is an organic reaction that transforms certain allylic alcohol derivatives into rearranged carbonyl compounds via a sigmatropic shift, widely used in complex molecule synthesis.
-
B.
Arbuzov rearrangement
The Arbuzov rearrangement is an organic reaction in which trialkyl or triaryl phosphites react with alkyl halides to form phosphonates, widely used in the synthesis of organophosphorus compounds.

C.
Eschenmoser–Claisen rearrangement
The Eschenmoser–Claisen rearrangement is a variant of the Claisen rearrangement in organic chemistry that converts allylic alcohols and amides into γ,δ-unsaturated carbonyl compounds via a [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement.
-
D.
Claisen rearrangement
The Claisen rearrangement is a pericyclic [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement in organic chemistry that converts allyl vinyl ethers (or related systems) into γ,δ-unsaturated carbonyl compounds with high stereospecificity.
-
E.
Overman rearrangement
The Overman rearrangement is an organic chemical reaction that converts allylic alcohol derivatives into allylic amines via a [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of allylic trichloroacetimidates.
