Abstract:The Cope rearrangement is a well-known reaction involving the [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of 1,5-dienes. These rearrangements can be performed thermally or photochemically. This manuscript it is a literature review of major Cope rearrangements commonly used in organic synthesis over the past 18 years. Among the fundamental chemical transformations in organic synthesis, the [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement occupies a unique position as a powerful, reliable, and well-defined method for the stereoselective con… Show more
