Mislow–Evans rearrangement

The Mislow–Evans rearrangement is a name reaction in organic chemistry. It is named after Kurt Mislow who reported the prototypical reaction in 1966,[1] and David A. Evans who published further developments.[2] The reaction allows the formation of allylic alcohols from allylic sulfoxides in a 2,3-sigmatropic rearrangement.[3]
