Published: November 2016

A novel type of phosphoric acid catalyst with enhanced reactivity is reported. These compounds possess one or two positively charged centers which electrostatically activate them. This is illustrated in several bond-forming transformations including Friedel-Crafts and Diels-Alder reactions as well as a ring-opening polymerization. Rate accelerations corresponding to orders of magnitude are observed.
