Phase‐Transfer and Other Types of Catalysis with Cyclopropenium Ions
Abstract
This work establishes the cyclopropenium ion as a viable platform for efficient phase‐transfer catalysis of a diverse range of organic transformations. The amenability of these catalysts to large‐scale synthesis and structural modification is demonstrated. Evaluation of the molecular structure of an optimal catalyst reveals some unique structural features of these systems. Finally, a discussion of electronic charge distribution underscores an important consideration for catalyst design.
