Preferred Label : isomerization;
IUPAC definition : A chemical reaction, the principal product of which is isomeric with the principal
reactant. An intramolecular isomerization that involves the breaking or making of
bonds is a special case of a molecular rearrangement. Isomerization does not necessarily
imply molecular rearrangement (e.g. in the case of the interconversion of conformational
isomers).;
