OxyCope Rearrangements

Oxy-Cope Rearrangement

Figure 1:)  Oxy-Cope rearrangement

NOTE: After the [3,3]-rearrangement occurs, the created enol tautomerizes into an aldehyde.

     The reaction above occurs just like the Cope rearrangement does, except there is an alcohol instead of an R group that can tautomerize.
