Abstract
Rearrangement of a series of 1,n-diols (n = 2 to 12), with a PhS-group adja cent to one OH group, under two sets of conditions gives single compounds i n excellent yield drawn for four possible classes of products. The effect o f the chain length helps in the understanding of the different cyclisation modes and the mechanism of the rearrangements.
