Carbenium ion formation by fragmentation of electrochemically generated oxonium ions†
Abstract
Fragmentation of electrochemically generated oxonium ions can be exploited to form carbenium ions at a low oxidation potential in the presence of a nucleophile. The application of this concept is demonstrated for the allylation of carbenium ions generated by the anodic oxidation of stannylmethylethers.
