Abstract

Abstract: The effect of structure and reaction conditions on carbon-carbon bond formation was investigated by the direct reaction of resonance-stabilized carbocations and carbanions in solution. Preliminary results indicated rates of coordination that range from diffusion controlled for the least stable ions to a total lack of reaction for the most stable ones after months of standing at room temperature. These results suggested that coordination/ ...
