Benzynes were generated from o-(trimethylsilyl) phenols using nonafluorobutanesulfonyl fluoride (NfF) by a domino process.Nonafluorobutanesulfonyl fluoride (nonaflyl fluoride, C 4 F 9 SO 2 F, NfF) is the most widely used commercially available reagent for the synthesis of nonaflates.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
