The decarboxylative Claisen rearrangement of a range of substituted diallyl 2-sulfonylmalonates is described. The reaction displays a very high degree of regioselectivity, with allylic substituents possessing electron-rich substituents at the 3-position rearranging preferentially. The substrates are made by C-carboxylation of the corresponding allyl sulfonylacetates with allyl para-nitrophenyl carbonates. In one instance, the presence of a highly electron-withdrawing side-chain led to the competing formation of a γ-lactone by-product. The Claisen rearrangement continues to be the focus of considerable research effort. [1] Since its introduction in 1972, [2] the Ireland silyl ketene acetal variant in particular has been widely used in complex target-oriented synthesis. [3] This modified process benefits from the ease of preparation of the ketene acetal substrates and the relatively mild conditions for the sigmatropic rearrangement. In addition, it enables overall C-allylation of carboxylic acids using allylic alcohols as the surrogate electrophiles, with regiospecific allylic double-bond transposition. We recently reported [4,5] a novel variant of the Ireland-Claisen rearrangement reaction in which α-tosyl silyl keteneacetals formed in situ from allylic tosylacetates 1 in the presence of N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide (BSA) and
