6.5 Cation Pool Method
Electro-oxidatively generated carbocations can
react with nucleophiles to form covalent bonds.
Because of the short life-time of carbocations, it
is necessary to generate carbocations in the
presence of nucleophiles, followed by
immediate reaction. In the above system, the
nucleophiles used should have higher oxidation
potential than precursor molecules of
carbocation. Since the carbon nucleophile is
easily oxidized, the formation of carbon-carbon
bonds using carbocations generated by anodic
oxidation is generally difficult.
