Highly electronically deactivated benzylic alcohols, including those with a CF group adjacent to the OH-bearing carbon, undergo dehydrative Friedel-Crafts reactions upon exposure to catalytic Brønsted acid in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) solvent. Titration and kinetic experiments support the involvement of higher order solvent/acid clusters in catalysis.
高度电子去活化的苄醇，包括那些在 OH 碳相邻处具有 CF 基团的苄醇，在 1,1,1,3,3,3-六氟-2-丙醇（HFIP）溶剂中暴露于催化布朗斯特酸时会发生脱水傅-克反应。滴定和动力学实验支持更高阶的溶剂/酸簇在催化中的参与。
