The Chapman rearrangement is the thermal conversion of aryl N-arylbenzimidates to the corresponding amides, via intramolecular migration of an aryl group from oxygen to nitrogen.[1] It is named after Arthur William Chapman, who first described it,[2] and is conceptually similar to the Newman–Kwart rearrangement.
