Due to this reason, this is not formed, In Scheme-1 cyclopropanone on ring opening gives transient carbanion. The carbanion in rearrangemint is not actually formed as a free species, three must be considerable negative charge atte cae atom as the membered ring opens. Because of the cyclopropanone mechanism, the structure of the product cannot be predicted direct fry the structure of the reacting haloketone. Instead, the identity of the product is governed by the direction of ty ring opening of the cyclopropanone ring. Direction of the ring opening of the cyclopropanone is gover by the stability of transient carbanion. Product formation takes place by the formation of the most stable carbanin in the ring opening step of the reaction. For this reason phenyl substituent favours breaking of the bond substituted carbon (which gives benzyl carbanion) but an alkyl group directs the cleavage to the less substiued carbon (Scheme-2). 0 &cit, a 9° " I © Cgi—CH,— C— CH,— Br Dom coocH, , ow Agel eet yy C,Hj— CH; — CH,— COOCH, <— CHs— CH CH, R—-CH- CH cH” \o/ \ of) | 4 poo Cpften gone Roc CHER! <— welll aS Ro <— n—cH—at—Sc I oH 1 oH OH COocH, R-cH— ; ccc ‘OH ‘Scheme ae 442 4 ORGANIC Se Haloketones containing no hydrogen at o’ ii : i M7 @'-carbon also undergo Favorskii rear i . so fompounds cannot enolise and hence cannot form cyclopropanone intermediate, no eg emmbounds the Favorskii rearrangement may, in fac tllee semi benzilic mech” Pe rearrangement is reffreed to a neti, is quasi-Favorskii rearrangement or semi-benzilic real Of the rearrangement is carboxylic acid or ester (Scheme-10). nrangement Pog Q a Se EE ua ofl no hydrogen on Scheme-10 Qucsi-Favorskii rearrangement is also given by o-halocyclobutanone (Scheme-1 1).
