Orange Book Entry

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.

Gold Book Entry

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 an ionic mechanism, and irrespective of the position of the charge.
