title: Observations on the reactivity of pentafluorophenyl sulfonate esters.
abstract: Studies on displacement reactions of alkyl pentafluorophenyl (PFP) sulfonates with amines are consistent with a mechanism involving an elimination-addition pathway; comparisons between the reactivity of PFP-sulfonates with sulfonyl chlorides and PFP-sulfonates with PFP-esters are also presented.
