It is clear that the sulfur substituent plays a major role in the amino-Cope rearrangement pathway in the work of Dobson et al., because replacement of the thiophenol group by phenol (R1 = OPh) leads to a slight preference for the [3,3]-product in THF/cosolvent mixtures. It has also been noted in oxy-Cope chemistry that although alkoxy substitution in this critical position decelerates the reaction, more importantly it impedes the competing heterolytic cleavage pathway favoured by sulfur.[ 10 ]
