A convenient method is described for the dehydration of beta-ketoesters to generate conjugated and deconjugated alkynyl esters and conjugated allenyl esters. This sequential one-pot method involves the formation of a vinyl triflate monoanion intermediate that leads to the selective formation of alkynes or allenes depending on additives and conditions used. Product outcomes appear to be a function of unique mono- and dianion mechanisms which are described. ...[more]
