Hofmann–Martius rearrangement
The Hofmann–Martius rearrangement in
When the catalyst is a metal halide the reaction is also called the Reilly–Hickinbottom rearrangement.[3]
The reaction is also known to work for aryl ethers and two conceptually related reactions are the
Friedel–Crafts alkylation
.
In one study this rearrangement was applied to a 3-N(CH3)(C6H5)-2-oxindole:[4][5]
The reaction is named after German chemists August Wilhelm von Hofmann and Carl Alexander von Martius.
