26. Preliminary investigations show that the nonaflation/elimination protocol is applicable to a wide range of carbonyl compounds, leading to terminal or internal alkynes or allenes, depending on the stereoelectronic effects of the substituents in the carbonyl substrate. The results will be reported in due course.
