                                    Catalytic Sommelet-Hauser rearrangement is reported. The Rh(II)-catalyzed reaction of aryldiazoacetates with ethyl benzylthioacetate affords Sommelet-Hauser rearrangement products in good to excellent yields. This reaction provides a reliable and efficient way to introduce a substituent to the ortho position of arylacetates.
