    Abstract

    2-(Trimethylsilyl)phenyl perfluorosulfonated aryne precursors may now be accessed using flow chemistry, enabling the fast preparation of pure compounds with no requirement for low temperature lithiation or column chromatography. The process has been adapted to novel nonaflate precursors, utilizing the cheaper and more user-friendly nonaflyl fluoride reagent. The resultant nonaflates are shown to successfully participate in a range of aryne reaction classes. © 2014 American Chemical Society.
