Module 8 : Molecular Rearrangements

Lecture 20 : Aromatic Rearrangements

Examples:

8.6.3 Intramolecular Migration from Nitrogen to Carbon

The mechanisms of these reactions are not fully understood.

8.6.3.1 Phenylnitramines

These compounds on heating with acid rearrange to give mainly the o -nitro-derivative. For example,
