Rearrangement of a series of 1,n diols (n= 2 to 12), one OH group having an adjacent PhS group, under the two sets of conditions in the title, gives single compounds in high yield drawn from four possible classes of product. The effects of chain length help in our understanding of the mechanism of the rearrangements.

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