photorearrangement

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.PT07460
Photoisomerization involving changes in the arrangement of the atoms within the molecular species. It may lead to unstable isomers that react further by, e.g., dehydrogenation, deprotonation, or other reactions.
Note:
Examples are photorearrangements of @A00224@ (other than cis-@C01092@ @P04622-2@), of cyclohex-2-enones, of endoperoxides, of thioarenes, the @D01745@ and others.
