Nucleophilic attack of an alkoxide on an alkynyl sulfonamide leads to displacement of the sulfonamide at the sp centre and isolation of the ynol ether in good yield in a single operation (see scheme). The mechanistic pathway has been probed by the use of coordinating additives, 13C-labelling experiments and ab initio calculations, which indicated that an addition/elimination mechanism is in operation.
