A high-yielding preparation of homoallylic sulfones 2 entails the treatment of allylic tosylacetate esters 1 with stoichiometric or substoichiometric quantities of BSA and substoichiometric quantities of KOAc under conventional thermal or microwave conditions. A possible mechanism involves silyl ketene acetal formation, [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement, and desilylation- decarboxylation. BSA = N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide; Ts = p-toluenesulfonyl.
