Abstract
Nonafluorobutanesulfonyl azide is a highly efficient reagent for an extremely fast copper-catalyzed coupling of terminal alkynes to give symmetrical and unsymmetrical 1,3-diynes in good to excellent yields and with good functional group compatibility. In addition, nonafluorobutanesulfonyl azide is a superior and safe alternative to other electrophilic azide reagents in use today.
