Carbenium ions, superelectrophilic

The reactivity of superelectrophile 46 precludes its direct observation by NMR, but as discussed in Chapter 2, stabilization of the carbenium ion center with para -methoxyphenyl groups allowed the dicationic species (5) to be observed at low temperature. [Pg.99]

In dication 188, the NBO charge at the carbenium ion center is +0.69 and at the acyl carbon is +1.09. The tert-butyl cation has been found to have NBO charge at its carbenium center of +0.67, suggesting a modest superelectrophilic activation of the carbenium ion center in 188, compared with the tert -butyl cation. When charges on the methyl groups are also considered, structure 188 is similar to the protosolvated tert -butyl cation 196. [Pg.219]

There are a number of other aryl-substituted carbodicationic systems that can be properly described as distonic superelectrophiles. For example, dication 45 has been generated from 2,2 -p-phenylenedi-2-propanol in SbFs at —78°C.4 When compared to the dimethyl(phenyl)carbenium ion (cumyl cation) 46, NMR data indicate that the positive charges are dispersed to a considerable extent into the neighboring methyl groups in the dication 45. [Pg.238]

The conversion is thought to involve formation of the carboxonium ion (77) by protonation of the carbonyl oxygen, and subsequent protonation then occurs at the C-H bond. The resulting carboxonium-carbonium dication (78) possesses the maximum possible charge-charge separation for this bicyclic framework. Subsequently, an intermediate carboxonium-carbenium dication (79) is produced, which isomerizes to the tertiary -carbenium ion, and deprotonation provides the product enone (80). Similar distonic superelectrophiles are proposed in other rearrangements of terpenes in superacid.28... [Pg.245]

The electrophilicity index also accounts for the electrophilic activation/deactivation effects promoted by EW and electron-releasing substituents even beyond the case of cycloaddition processes. These effects are assessed as responses at the active site of the molecules. The empirical Hammett-like relationships found between the global and local electrophilicity indexes and the reaction rate coefficients correctly account for the substrate selectivity in Friedel-Crafts reactions, the reactivity of carbenium ions, the hydrolysis of esters, the reactivity at the carbon-carbon double bonds in conjugated Michael additions, the philicity pattern of carbenes and the superelectrophilicity of nitronium, oxonium and carboxonium ions. This last application is a very promising area of application. The enhanced electrophilicity pattern in these series results from... [Pg.196]

An unusual class of gitonic superelectrophiles (having vicinal -dicationic structure) are the protosolvated alkylcarbenium ions (of carbenium-car-bonium dication nature). Several studies have shown that alkylcarbenium... [Pg.143]

It was previously noted that superelectrophilic carboxonium ions may be generated from suitable precursors, including amino-ketones, /V-heteroaromatic ketones and aldehydes, amino-acetals, and other substrates.45 In their superacid-promoted condensation reactions, these compounds often produce ammonium-carbenium superelectrophiles as intermediates in the reactions. As an example, the amino-acetal (229) reacts with arenes in the presence of superacid to give the arylated product (231, eq 72).43... [Pg.225]
