Within the broader class, sigmatropic rearrangements are chemical processes defined by mechanisms involving unimolecular migration of sigma-bonds with concomitant redistribution of one or more pi-bonds. Sigmatropic processes may involve uncharged or charged species, with the charges located on carbon or heteroatoms; the latter reaction type is the subject of this tutorial review.
