… The diverse chemistry of carbocations has also received considerable attention from the
academic community, with carbocation-based synthetic reactions being used in
methodology development and targeted organic synthesis. Despite the long history of
synthetic carbocation chemistry, this continues to be an area of intensive research. As
described in the following review, new methodologies are being developed for C–C bond
construction, functional group manipulation, activation of sp 3 carbons, and rearrangements …
