Abstract

En 中文
Phenyl cations are short-lived electrophiles and can be smoothly generated by photolysis of aromatic halides (chlorides, fluorides) and esters (sulfonates, sulfates and phosphates) in protic media. Indeed, the heterolytic cleavage of an Aryl-LG bond (LG = leaving group; X, OR) allows for the generation of a triplet aryl cation (Ar-3(+)) that chemoselectively reacts with pi-bond nucleophiles to perform transition metal free arylations. Aryl cations can be also exploited in the generation of other high energy intermediates, such as diradicals (including ortho-arynes and alpha,n-didehydrotoluenes), potentially useful for medicinal applications. Since the generation of phenyl cations is always accompanied by the release of a strong acid (e.g. sulfonic acids), the phenyl cation precursors are actually non ionic photoacid generators (PAGs) that find useful applications in nanolithography.
