Abstract

0-Acylation of a-diazo ketones with benzoyl triflate or diphenylacetyl triflate generates the corresponding & (acyloxy) alkenediazonium salts 5 and 15. These thermolabile compounds can be trapped with isopropylamine at low temperature to give triazoles 21. Dediazoniation of 5 and 15 leads to 1, 3-dioxolium salts 7 and 16 as well as small amounts of vinyl triflates 8 and 17 via intermediary vinyl cations. 0-Benzoylation with benzoyl triflate has also been ...
