The Comins' reagent is a triflyl compound that is used to synthesize vinyl triflates from the corresponding ketone enolates or dienolates.
It was first reported in 1992 by Daniel Comins from North Carolina State University. The vinyl triflates prepared are useful as substrates in the Suzuki reaction.
