CLAISEN REARRANGEMENT

The Claisen rearrangement is a powerful carbon-carbon bond-forming chemical reaction discovered by Rainer Ludwig Claisen. The heating of an allyl vinyl ether will initiate a [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement to give a γ,δ-unsaturated carbonyl.
The Claisen rearrangement

Discovered in 1912, the Claisen rearrangement is the first recorded example of a [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement.[1][2][3]

Mechanism


The Claisen rearrangement (and its variants) are exothermic (about 84 kJ/mol), concerted pericyclic reactions which according to the Woodward-Hoffmann rules show a suprafacial reaction pathway.
There are substantial solvent effects in the Claisen reactions. More polar solvents tend to accelerate the reaction to a greater extent. Hydrogen-bonding solvents gave the highest rate constants. For example, ethanol/water solvent mixtures give rate constants 10-fold higher than sulfolane.[1][2]
Trivalent organoaluminium reagents, such as trimethylaluminium, have been shown to accelerate this reaction.[4][5]

Variations


Aromatic Claisen rearrangement

The aromatic variation of the 'Claisen rearrangement' is the [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of an allyl phenyl ether to an intermediate which quickly tautomerizes to an ortho-substituted phenol.

Bellus-Claisen rearrangement

The ''Bellus-Claisen rearrangement'' is the reaction of allylic ethers, amines, and thioethers with ketenes to give γ,δ-unsaturated esters, amides, and thioesters.[6][7][8]
The Bellus-Claisen rearrangement

Eschenmoser-Claisen rearrangement

The ''Eschenmoser-Claisen rearrangement'' proceeds from an allylic alcohol to a γ,δ-unsaturated amide, and was developed by Albert Eschenmoser in 1964.[9][10]
The Eschenmoser-Claisen rearrangement

Ireland-Claisen rearrangement

The ''Ireland-Claisen rearrangement'' is the reaction of an allylic acetate with strong base (such as Lithium diisopropylamide) to give a γ,δ-unsaturated carboxylic acid.[11][12]
The Ireland-Claisen rearrangement

Johnson-Claisen rearrangement

The ''Johnson-Claisen rearrangement'' is the reaction of an allylic alcohol with trimethyl orthoacetate to give a γ,δ-unsaturated ester.[13]

Hetero-Claisens


Aza-Claisen

An iminium can serve as one of the pi-bonded moieties in the rearrangement.[14]

Chromium Oxidation

Chromium can oxidize allylic alcohols to alpha-beta unsaturated ketones on the opposite side of the unsaturated bond from the alcohol. This is via a concerted hetero-claisen reaction, although there are mechanistic differences since the chromium atom has access to d- shell orbitals which allow the reaction under a less constrained set of geometries.[15][16]

Chen-Mapp Reaction

The 'Chen-Mapp reaction' also known as the '[3,3]-Phosphorimidate Rearrangement' or 'Staudinger-Claisen Reaction' installs a phosphite in the place of an alcohol and takes advantage of the Staudinger Ligation to convert this to an imine. The subsequent claisen is driven by the fact that a P=O double bond is more energetically favorable than a P=N double bond.[17]
The Mapp Reaction

===Overman rearrangement===
The Overman rearrangement (named after Larry Overman) is a Claisen rearrangement of allylic trichloroacetimidates to allylic trichloroacetamides.[18][19][20][21]

Thio-Claisen

Claisen rearrangement in nature


The enzyme Chorismate mutase (EC 5.4.99.5) catalyzes the Claisen rearrangement of chorismate ion to prephenate ion, a key intermediate in the shikimic acid pathway (the biosynthetic pathway towards the synthesis of phenylalanine and tyrosine).[22]
