Collection: Aryne Precursors, Heteroaryne Precursors

Aryne Precursors, Heteroaryne Precursors — covers aryne and heteroaryne precursors such as derivatives of benzyne, naphthalyne, pyridyne, and quinolyne, along with the reagents that trigger their formation, such as silyl-substituted aromatic triflates. These compounds serve as sources of reactive strained-ring intermediates generated in situ during the reaction.

Aryne Precursors are used by synthetic organic chemists for cycloaddition, insertion, and functionalization of aromatic rings to build polycyclic and heterocyclic frameworks that are difficult to achieve through conventional aromatic substitution. Benzyne and heteroaryne precursors are generally generated with fluoride from an adjacent silyl-triflate group, then trapped by various nucleophiles or dienophiles in a single reaction step.

Choose a precursor based on the type of aryne ring to be generated (benzyne, naphthalyne, pyridyne, or quinolyne) and the silyl-triflate substitution pattern, as both determine the regioselectivity of the cycloaddition products. All products are genuine products of Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
