Carbocationic synthons Synthon

fig. 1: strategic disconnection en route hops ether fig 2: pictet-spengler disconnection. many retrosynthetic disconnections important organic synthesis planning use carbocationic synthons. carbon-carbon bonds, example, exist ubiquitously in organic molecules, , disconnected during retrosynthetic analysis yield carbocationic , carbanionic synthons. carbon-heteroatom bonds, such found in alkyl halides, alcohols, , amides, can traced backwards retrosynthetically polar c-x bond disconnections yielding carbocation on carbon. oxonium , acylium ions carbocationic synthons carbonyl compounds such ketones, aldehydes , carboxylic acid derivatives. oxonium-type synthon used in disconnection en route hops ether, key component of beer (see fig.1). in forward direction, researchers used intramolecular aldol reaction catalyzed titanium tetrachloride form tetrahydrofuran ring of hops ether. another common disconnection features carbocationic synthons pictet-spengler reaction. mechanism of reaction in...
