A reaction of this type which can occur on a substituted aromatic system is called the “halogen dance”. This sort of reaction occurs to bulky glycols under acidic conditions. A concerted reaction of this type occurs when a 1,5 diene is heated; that particular reaction is part of a set denoted by the order [3,3]. The SN1 reaction of neopentyl bromide with base does not yield neopentyl alcohol because one of these reactions occurs to form a more stable carbocation intermediate. A class of pericyclic reactions of this type are named for the removal and formation of sigma bonds, and includes reactions named for Cope and Claisen. Basic reactions of this type include hydride shifts and methyl shifts. For 10 points, name this class of reactions which remodel a molecule’s carbon skeleton.
