Abstract
Abstract The gas-phase Smiles reaction of RC 6 H 4 O (CH 2) n O−(n= 2 or 3) is an ipso rearrangement which is strongly influenced by the nature of the substituent R. Electron- withdrawing groups enhance the rearrangement. When the substituent R is halogen or MeO, and occupies the ortho position, ortho cyclization competes with the Smiles rearrangement.
