Abstract

The reactivity of electrophiles capable of further coordinatidn with strong protic or Lewis acids can be greatly enhanced. 2 These electrophiles generally contain nonbonded electron pairs, such as acyl cations and various onium ions. The resulting superelectrophiles are of doubly electron deficient (dipositive) nature, the reactivity of which greatly exceeds that of their parents in aprotic or conventional acidic media. 2 It was recently shown that linear ...
