title: Sila-Pummerer rearrangement of cyclic sulfoxides: computational study of the mechanism.
abstract: The sila-Pummerer rearrangement of organosilicon cyclic sulfoxides proceeds via the two transition states, the first one with pentacoordinated Si that connects the reagent and the intermediate ylide and the second one that connects the ylide and the product of rearrangement.
