A new concept for selectivity control in carbocation‐driven reactions has been identified which allows for the chemo‐, regio‐, and stereoselective addition of nucleophiles to alkynes—assisted vinyl cation formation—enabled by a Li + ‐based supramolecular framework. Mechanistic analysis of a model complex (Li 2 NTf 2 + ⋅3 H 2 O) confirms that solely the formation of a complex between the incoming nucleophile and the transition state of the alkyne protonation is responsible for the resulting selective N addition to the vinyl cation. Into the bargain, a general, operationally simple synthetic procedure to previously inaccessible vinyl triflimides is provided.
