In this video, you will learn tips and tricks to recognize when a reaction will utilize one of the three common carbocation rearrangements, which include the hydride shift, alkyl or methyl shift and ring expansion. You’ll learn how to draw these carbocation rearrangements in a reaction mechanism and predict the most stable product molecule for a variety of example problems.
You’ll also learn a fun trick to quickly recognize which shift takes place even without having to draw out the mechanism
