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

Migration of carbon and hydrogen will occur in a sigmatropic rearrangement reaction.

Mechanism gives the step wise processes occurs in a particular reaction.
