Reverting the orientation of a functional group by exchanging molecular parts of it is an important scaffold hopping manipulation, as biologically active compounds and their analogs, which underwent such a transformation, are often similar in shape and physicochemical properties and therefore likely in their potency as well. This review will demonstrate, how the inversion of carboxamides, sulfonamides, carbamates, oximes, hydrazones, O,S-acetals, and ethers led to the discovery of highly active agrochemicals.
