Abstract

Superelectrophilic intermediates 1 are typically generated when a cationic electrophile is further protonated or coordinated by a Lewis acid to produce a dicationic species. Similarly, superelectrophilic solvation 2 may also involve weaker interactions without forming limiting dications resulting however in enhanced electrophilic reactivity. Recent years have seen the appearance of many useful reactions and synthetic approaches which involve superelectrophilic activation of ...
