Intramolecular Nicholas Reaction Enables the Stereoselective Synthesis of Strained Cyclooctynes

Cyclic products can be obtained through the intramolecular version of the Nicholas reaction, which requires having the nucleophile connected to the alkyne unit. Here, we report the synthesis of 1-oxa-3-cyclooctynes starting from commercially available (1<i>R</i>,3<i>S</i>)-ca...
