Abstract
α-Halo sulfones readily undergo the Ramberg-Bäcklund rearrangement under phase-transfer conditions to afford olefinic products in excellent yields. An in situ generation of α-halo sulfones in the presence of carbon tetrachloride and subsequent rearrangement is accomplished in a similar manner.
