It has been suggested that Cope reaction be merged into this article or section.   (Discuss)

The Cope rearrangement is an extensively studied organic reaction involving the [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of 1,5-dienes. For example 3-methyl-1,5-hexadiene heated to 300°C yields 1,5-heptadiene. Image File history File links Please see the file description page for further information. ... It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Cope rearrangement. ... Organic reactions are chemical reactions between organic compounds. ... A Sigmatropic reaction is a pericyclic reaction where the net result is one sigma bond being changed to another sigma bond. ...

Mechanism

Although the cope rearrangement is concerted, it is considered to go via a transition state that is energetically and structurally equivalent to a diradical. This is the best explanation which remains faithful to the uncharged nature of the cope transition state, while preserving the principles of orbital symmetry. This also explains the high energy requirement to perform a cope rearrangement. Although illustrated in the chair conformation, the cope can also occur with cyclohexadienes in the "boat" conformation. In chemistry, a concerted reaction is one that takes place in a single step. ... A collision between reactant molecules may or may not result in a successful reaction. ... Chair conformation is a term used for the most stable chemical structure of a six member single bonded carbon ring. ...
