Treatment of trimethylsilylethanes bearing α-phenyl groups and β-phenylthio, phenylsulfonyl or cyano groups with LDA causes elimination-rearrangement mediated by the β-carbanionic species. Mechanistic conclusions are based on isotopic labelling experiment
Elimination-Rearrangement in β-Functionalised Silanes-the Direction of the Rearrangement and its Scope

A new eliminative rearrangement of β-silyl carbanions requires phenyl on carbon α to silicon when the conjugate acid has a pKa (DMSO) in the range 12-30; rearrangement involves silicon and not phenyl migration.
