Abstract

The nucleophilic substitution of alcohols is one of the most commonly executed and strategically important transformations in organic chemistry.[1] These reactions have long been used to transfer the structural and stereochemical complexity of alcohols to a myriad of other products.[2] Despite this importance, the traditional reagents for alcohol substitution leave much to be desired. Such reagents often produce problematic by-products or suffer ...
