A reaction involving Photochemical reorganization of Phenolic ester is known as Photo - fries rearrangement reaction or Fries rearrangement.
The Fries rearrangement, named after German scientist Karl Theophil Fries, is a Lewis acid-catalyzed reaction that converts a phenolic ester to a hydroxy aryl ketone.
It involves the migration of a phenol ester's acyl group to the aryl ring. The reaction is ortho and para selective, and modifying reaction parameters such as temperature and solvent can favour one of the two products.
