Functionalization of π-activated alcohols by trapping carbocations in pure water under smooth conditions

Acetic acid as catalyst in pure water was found to be an excellent reaction medium for the direct dehydrative functionalization of π-activated alcohols using a wide variety of interesting C-, P-, and S-centered nucleophiles, such as indoles, pyrrole, anilines, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, diphenyl phos...
