McLafferty rearrangement
Rearrangement reaction involving transfer of a hydrogen atom via a six-member transition state to the formal radical/charge site from a carbon atom four atoms distant from the charge/radical site (the γ-carbon); subsequent rearrangement of electron density can lead to expulsion of an olefin molecule.
Note: Originally applied to ketone molecular ions where the charge/radical site is the carbonyl oxygen, but is now more widely applied.

ORANGE BOOK DEFINITION

McLafferty rearrangement

This is an example of a rearrangement reaction and is defined as β - cleavage with concomitant specific transfer of a γ - hydrogen atom in a six-membered transition state in mono-unsaturated systems, irrespective of whether the rearrangement is formulated by a radical or by an ionic mechanism and irrespective of with which fragment the charge stays.
