Successive rotonation of an N‐heterocyclic imine derived carbonyl: Superelectrophilic dication versus masked acylium ion
Carbonyl cations are among the most commonly invoked reactive intermediates in organic synthesis. While Olah pioneered superacids to provide a “stable ion” environment for their study in situ, isolated examples are rare. Here, we disclose successive protonation of an N‐heterocyclic imine (NHI) deriv...
