The thermal decomposition of the aryl azides (1) into dimethyl sulphide (2), thioanisole (3), and tetrahydrothiophene (4) generally affords the 2-substituted anilines (5)-(7) in practicable yields by Sommelet-Hauser rearrangement of the intermediate N-arylsulphimides (11a-c) which result from arylnitrene attack at the sulphur atom of (2)-(4).This constitutes a potential synthetic procedure.
