| Research Abstract |
Friedel-Crafts reactions are those involving electrophilic reactions of carbon electrophiles with aromatic compounds. Cationic intermediated, i. e., carbenium ions, have been proposed as electrophiles in these reactions. A great number of cationic species have been identified, some of which bear two positive charges. In spite of the elucidation of the structures of cationic species, there have been few studies on the electrophilic reactivity toward benzenes. Therefore even though the cationic species is detected, there are no systematic criteria to determine whether such a cation can act as an electrophile in Friedel-Crafts reactions. Here the structures and electrophilic reactivities of carbocations will be discussed, in particular, carbocations stabilized by neutral heteroatoms and those destabilized by their protonated forms, i. e., onium groups.
