β-Aryl-substituted α,β-epoxysulfones undergo House-Meinwald rearrangement to form α-aryl, α-sulfonyl aldehydes in high yields upon dissolution in hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP), and in some cases, heating. These compounds are typically isolated as the corresponding alcohols following reduction with NaBH4. The β-aryl group is generally required for rearrangement and a variety of substitution patterns
