The Carbocation: A Forgotten Lewis Acid Catalyst
TL;DR: In terms of reactivity and stability, triarylmethylium (trityl)-cation catalysis is summarized in this article, where the trityl ion emerges as a highly efficient and highly versatile Lewis acid catalyst capable of catalyzing different classes of reactions often with high selectivity and low catalyst loadings (for some reactions down to ppm levels).
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct Organocatalytic Oxo-Metathesis, a trans-Selective Carbocation-Catalyzed Olefination of Aldehydes
TL;DR: In this paper, a direct organocatalytic carbonyl/olefin oxo-metathesis has been developed, which utilizes unactivated alkenes for the olefination of aromatic aldehydes to give transalkylstyrenes in yields of 44-85% with only acetone as the byproduct.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbocations as Lewis Acid Catalysts: Reactivity and Scope
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the strength of efficient metal-free catalysis and demonstrated efforts towards more sustainable processes through implementation of strategies that meet several of the 12 principles of Green Chemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbocation Catalysis: Oxa‐Diels–Alder Reactions of Unactivated Aldehydes and Simple Dienes

TL;DR: The versatility of trityl cation (TrBF 4 ) as a highly efficient Lewis acid organocatalyst is demonstrated in the oxa-Diels-Alder reaction of various unactivated aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chiral Anion Directed Asymmetric Carbocation‐Catalyzed Diels–Alder Reactions
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the bis(sulfuryl)amide/tritylium ion salt catalyzes the Diels-Alder reaction with an up to 53% enantiomeric excess.
