Abstract

The electrophilic alkylation of π donors most often implies the use of Lewis acid catalysts for the generation of reactive electrophilic species from covalent precursors.[1] A promising alternative to this procedure has recently been suggested in studies by Mayr and co- workers.[2, 3] In particular, it was disclosed that cationic intermediates generated by solvolysis of SN1-active substrates in polar solvents, such as acetone/water, acetonitrile/ ...
