Preferred Label : photorearrangement;
IUPAC definition : Photoisomerization involving changes in the arrangement of the atoms within the molecular
species. It may lead to unstable isomers that react further by, e.g., dehydrogenation,
deprotonation, or other reactions.;
Scope note : examples are photorearrangements of alkenes (other than cis-trans photoisomerization),
of cyclohex-2-enones, of endoperoxides, of thioarenes, the di-p-methane rearrangement
and others.;
