The acceleration effect from the addition of N ‐fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI) to a samarium(III) triflate catalyzed Meyer–Schuster rearrangement under microwave irradiation was studied. Reaction rate plots indicate that the Sm(OTf) 3 /NFSI system is especially suitable for unreactive substrates towards the Meyer–Schuster rearrangement. The mechanism was probed by a crossover experiment using 18 O‐labeled substrates.
