Favorskii rearrangement
The Favorskii rearrangement is the transformation of haloketones to branched-chain or ring-contracted carboxylic acid derivatives in the presence of a base, typically alkoxide or an amine. α,α’-Dihaloketones eliminate HX under the reaction conditions to give α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds.
