Enantiomerization of allylic trifluoromethyl sulfoxides occurs spontaneously at room temperature through the corresponding allylic trifluoromethanesulfenates via a [2,3]‐sigmatropic rearrangement . Dynamic enantioselective high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis revealed the stereodynamics of these sulfoxides ranging from chromatographic resolution to peak coalescence at temperatures between 5 and 53 °C. The rate constant of enantiomerization and activation parameters were determined and compared with Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations.
