Isomerization
Rearrangement of the atoms within hydrocarbon molecules. Isomerization processes of practical significance in petroleum chemistry are (1) migration of alkyl groups, (2) shift of a single-carbon bond in naphthenes, and (3) double-bond shift in olefins. See also Aromatization; Cracking; Molecular isomerism.
