Abstract
Benzynes were generated from o-(trimethylsilyl)phenols using nonafluorobutanesulfonyl fluoride (NfF) by a domino process, i.e., the nonaflation of the phenolic hydroxyl group of o-(trimethylsilyl)phenols by NfF followed by the attack of the produced fluoride ion on the trimethylsilyl group. The generated benzyne immediately underwent various reactions to give polysubstituted benzenes.
