The rearrangement reactions are of three types, depending on the number of electrons the migrating atom or group carries. It is nucleophilic or anionotropic (migration with two bond electrons), free-radical (migration with one bond electron), and electrophilic or cationotropic (migration with zero bond electrons) rearrangements.
