Substituent effects on the overall mechanism are assessed by using combinations of the ring (R = H, CF3) and traveling (X = S, S = O, and CH2) groups. The origins of fluxionality in the S-oxide of perfluorotetramethyl Dewar thiophene are uncovered in this work. Dewar rearrangements are chemical processes that occur with a high degree of synchronicity. These changes are directly related to the activation energy.enDewar thiophenesFluxionalityOne-electron bondsReaction mechanismsArtículoAttribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)DOI: 10.3390/molecules25020284
