Sigma tropic rearrangement reactions are designated with digits. For example a [1, 3] sigma tropic rearrangement describe a reaction in which the residue migrates from position 1 to position 3.

Woodward –Hoffmann rules are the set of rules used to vindicate or predict certain aspects of the stereo chemical outcome and activation energy of pericyclic reactions.

Woodward – Hoffmann rules for sigma tropic rearrangement reactions are listed below

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
If the compounds shown here are heated, one will form one product from a [1,3] sigmatropic rearrangement and the other will form two products fromtwo different [1,3] sigmatropic rearrangements. Draw the products of the reactions.
is this an E1 or E2 mechanism for this reaction? What is the major product and mechanism for it?
In the box to the left of each reaction below, write the mechanism by which it occurs (could be SN1, SN2, or E1, or even 2 of them). Then draw the product(s).
