Pummerer rearrangement

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pummerer rearrangement is an organic chemical reaction in which sulfoxides can be reacted with anhydrides . The products formed via various intermediate stages are α-acyloxysulfides, which can serve as synthetic equivalents to protected carbonyl compounds . The reaction was named after its discoverer Rudolf Pummerer (1882–1973).

Mechanism of the Pummerer Rearrangement

The Pummerer rearrangement is also found as a side reaction of the Swern oxidation .
