    A Wagner–Meerwein rearrangement is a class of carbocation 1,2-rearrangement reactions in which a hydrogen, alkyl or aryl group migrates from one carbon to a neighboring carbon. They can be described as cationic [1,2]-sigmatropic rearrangements, proceeding suprafacially and with stereochemical retention

    sir, I can't understand the 3rd step in the example that how 1-2 alkyl shift occur

    eduncle-logo-app

    here 2° carbocation is converted to more stable 3° carbocation

    eduncle-logo-app

    sir I have a question

    eduncle-logo-app

    yes, ask me

    eduncle-logo-app

    I have not studied Pericyclic reactions yet

    eduncle-logo-app

    is there any need to study pericyclic reaction first before such rearrangement reactions?

    eduncle-logo-app

    no need, pericyclic is separated chapter with different concept

    eduncle-logo-app

    ok sir

    eduncle-logo-app
