✦ Synopsis


Conversion of aatyt Vinyl 8ulfOXide8 5 and 8 t0 y,b-UnSUtUZYZted S&fine8 8 and 9, respectively, under neutral condition8 8hOW8 that the acceterating effect8 of the charge8 in a awitterionic moiety do not cancel, instead the sulfoxide functionality significantly facilitates the rearrangement. Uncatalyzed [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement reactions can be accelerated by placing electron donating or withdrawing groups in the substrate, or more remarkably by introducing a positive or a negative charge into the system. Examples of cation-accelerated rearrangements include Breslow's carbocationic Cope rearrangement1 and the ammonium-iminium rearrangements.2 Anion-accelerated rearrangements include Ireland's ester enolate-Claisen rearrangement,3 Evans' anionic oxy-Cope rearrangement,4 and carbanionic Claisen rearrangements.5 Herein, we provide
