synthetically useful level of reactivity of cyclic sulfamidates toward acetylides is described. Ring-opening reactions of a structurally diverse set of 1,2- and 1,3-cyclic sulfamidates with a range of lithium acetylides from aliphatic, cyclic, aromatic, heteroaromatic, and functionalized alkynes proceed smoothly in a regioselective manner to give the corresponding N-sulfate intermediates. Hydrolysis of these
