Ring expansion reaction

Ring expansion reaction

A ring expansion reaction is a type of organic reaction in which usually a hydrocarbon ring is expanded. Examples of ring expansions are:
* Beckmann rearrangement
* Dowd-Beckwith ring expansion reaction.

Ring contraction reaction

A ring contraction reaction is a type of organic reaction in which usually a hydrocarbon ring is contracted

Examples are:
* Favorskii rearrangement
* Demjanov rearrangement
* Ring contractions of cyclic ketones and cycloalkenes brought about by hypervalent iodine ["Hypervalent Iodine–Mediated Ring Contraction Reactions" Luiz F. Silva, Jr Molecules 2006, 11, 421-434 [http://www.mdpi.org/molecules/papers/11060421.pdf Online article] ] for example the reaction of cyclohexene with iodosobenzene and boron trifluoride to "cyclopentanecarbaldehyde"::
