Tosyloxybenziodoxolone: A Platform for Performing the Umpolung of Alkynes in One-Pot Transformations
 December 13, 2021 
Ethynylbenziodoxolones (EBXs) are commonly encountered reagents for the electrophilic alkynylation of nucleophiles. Herein, we report a one-pot, two-step process for EBX generation and their direct application in substrate functionalization. Our approach enables us to bypass the originally mandatory isolation and purification of the reagents, resulting in a more efficient synthesis. We could apply this process to seven different transformations involving both two- and one-electron nucleophiles to obtain a large variety of alkynylated products.
