Abstract
Vinylogous acyl nonaflates, like the corresponding triflates, are subject to nucleophile-triggered fragmentation as part of a tandem process for generating functionalized alkynes. Advantages to the use of nonaflates in lieu of triflates include cost and stability. Computational analysis supports a postulated fragmentation mechanism involving a closed (cyclic) transition state with concerted extrusion of lithium sulfonate.
