  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009999",
  "term": "Rearrangement stage",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A part of a reaction mechanism where atoms or groups within a molecule migrate to form a new structural isomer. This stage often involves the formation of an intermediate that then undergoes an intramolecular shift. Molecular rearrangements are common in organic chemistry, such as the Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement.",
