The results from the introduction of tetrahydrothiophene into the reaction zone during the catalytic rearrangements of alkenyl aryl ethers demonstrate the possibility of a change in the direction of transformation of the ether from -sigmatropic rearrangement to intermolecular alkenylation of a concurrent strong nucleophile.The heterolytic character of the catalytic intermolecular rearrangement (alkenylation) was confirmed by the formation of alkenylsulfonium salts, the structure of the allyl unit which corresponded to the most thermodynamically stable isomer.
