Trifluoromethyl-substituted superelectrophiles were generated in superacid (CF(3)SO(3)H), and their chemistry was examined. The strong electron-withdrawing properties of the trifluoromethyl group are found to enhance the electrophilic character at cationic sites in superelectrophiles. This leads to greater positive-charge delocalization in the superelectrophiles. These effects are manifested by the unusual chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivities shown by the superelectrophiles in chemical reactions.
三氟甲基取代的超亲电试剂在超酸(CF(3)SO(3)H)中生成,并对其化学性质进行了研究。发现三氟甲基强大的吸电子特性增强了超亲电试剂阳离子位点的亲电特性。这导致超亲电试剂中出现更大程度的正电荷离域。这些效应表现为超亲电试剂在化学反应中展现出的异常化学选择性、区域选择性和立体选择性。
