The NBS step is spectacular, I remember sitting through a session at an ACS meeting where some speakers disussed this reaction in detail on the way to natural products they used mcpba following a sharpless dihydroxylation on an adjcaent olefin prior to the oxidation Regarding Sonagashira, nice reaction, do you think the lithium acetylide could have reacted twice.
