Abstract:Keteniminium salts (KIs) are versatile intermediates in synthetic organic chemistry. Elucidation of the mechanistic aspects of KI formation reactions facilitates the design of KI intermediates that give access to complex compounds. In this study, in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of KI formation, various mechanisms were investigated using a density functional theory approach. Particularly, Ghosez’s KI formation mechanism, by activation of an amide with triflic anhydride, was extensively elabora… Show more
