catalysts for this process. The reaction allows the synthesis of a wide variety of cyclic and acyclic alkenyl nonaflates 3 in good to excellent yields. For E/Z isomeric alkenes the configuration of the double bond is essentially retained. Remarkably, enolates derived from methyl ketones also provide C-sulfonylation products 4 as a side product; the desired alkenyl nonaflates 3l and 3m could, however, be prepared
