Utility of Enol and Aryl Triflates. Enol and aryl triflates are extensively used for cross-coupling reactions, the formation of carbon-carbon, carbon-tin, carbon-nitrogen, carbon-sulfur, carbon-phosphorus, and carbon-halogen bonds, and reduction/ deoxygenation. In recent examples, they were used to form enamines or enamides or were eliminated to cyclooctynes for copper-free cycloadditions in biological systems.
