Intramolecular nucleophilic aromatic substitution in alkaline solution resulting in the migration of an aromatic system from one heteroatom to another. The two-carbon unit joining X and Y is usually part of an aromatic ring but may also be aliphatic:
The conversion of o-methyldiaryl sulfones to o-benzylbenzenesulfinic acids is referred to as the Truce-Smiles rearrangement: W. E. Truce et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 80, 3625 (1958); G. P. Crowther, C. R. Hauser, J. Org. Chem. 33, 2228 (1968).
