Predestined to be transient theoretical species, phenonium ions can now be considered as cationic intermediates of choice in organic synthesis. Here, we demonstrate that under non-nucleophilic and superacidic conditions, CF-substituted phenonium ions can be generated to furnish original CF-substituted dihydrostilbenes of interest.

The catalytic deoxyamination of readily available 2-arylethanols offers an appealing, simple, and straightforward means of accessing β-(hetero)arylethylamines of biological interest. Yet, it currently represents a great challenge to synthetic chemistry. In most cases, the alcohol has to be either pre-activated in situ or converted into a reactive carbonyl intermediate, limiting the substrate scope for some methods.

We report that the treatment of unsymmetrical 2,3-disubstituted aziridines with TiCl yields β-phenethylamine products via the intermediacy of a phenonium ion. Derivatization of the products obtained via this method is demonstrated. Computational analysis of the reaction pathway provides insight into the reaction mechanism, including the selectivity of the phenonium opening.

We report the first examples of selective and regiodivergent opening of unsymmetrical phenonium ions with chloride ions. These reactions are enabled by the dual role of SnCl and TiCl as Lewis acids and chloride nucleophiles. Reagent control dictates addition of chloride at either the substituted internal position (SnCl) or unsubstituted terminal position (TiCl) of the phenonium ion.

The results of studies on the structure and reactivity of spiro[5.2]oct-5,7-diene-4yl carbocation [phenonium ion] have had a significant impact on the course of discussion about the distinction between classical and nonclassical carbocations. This minireview will present a brief overview of the structure, bonding and reactivity of ring substituted phenonium ions (), with an emphasis on work completed since 2004.
