The mechanism for a Cornforth rearrangement which involves the thermal interconversion of 4-carbonyl substituted oxazoles, with an exchange between the C-C-O side-chain and the C-C-O fragment of the oxazole ring. These reactions generally involve compounds where a heteroatom (-OR, -SR, -Cl) is attached to the 5-position of the starting oxazole.
