text: The dienone–phenol rearrangement is a reaction in organic chemistry first reported in 1921 by Karl von Auwers and Karl Ziegler. A common example of dienone–phenol rearrangement is 4,4-disubstituted  converting into a stable 3,4-disubstituted phenol in presence of acid. A similar rearrangement is possible with a 2,2-disubstituted cyclohexadienone to its corresponding disubstituted phenol. Usually this type of rearrangement is spontaneous unless a dichloromethyl group is present at the 4th position or the process is otherwise blocked.
