The kinetics of the reactions of β,β-dibromo- and β-iodo-β-chlorovinyl sulfones with sodium methoxide and substituted thiophenolates in methanol were investigated.By comparison of the reactivity of the dibromo- and chloroiodo-substituted vinyl sulfones with the previously investigated dichlorovinyl sulfones it was concluded that the reaction has a nonsynchronous two-stage mechanism of nucleophilic vinyl substitution in the case of soft nucleophiles (ArS-) with partial disintegration of the bond with the leaving group in the intermediate carbanion.The reaction of β,β-dibromovinyl sulfones with a hard anion (CH3O-) takes place by an elimination-addition mechanism.In the reaction of β-iodo-β-chlorovinyl phenyl sulfone with CH3O- an unusual rearrangement was detected in the course of the substitution process, leading to α-iodo-β-methoxyvinyl phenyl sulfone.The possible mechanism of the rearrangement is discussed.
