Molecular orbital control or the least‐motion principle —what determines sigmatropic shifts in cyclopolyolefins? This question can be answered by a synergistic combination of two‐dimensional NMR techniques and density functional theory computations which reveal the intricacies of the degenerate [1,9]‐SnMe 3 sigmatropic shifts in the title compound as well as in related structures.
