“…As has been noted above, the structure 84 was ascribed to the ion generated from the alcohol 81. 39 However, quantum-chemical calculations by the MINDO/3 method (AMPAC programme) revealed that the cation 84 was converted into the ion 164 without a barrier. This suggests that the ion 84 could not be regarded as a stable species.…”

“…In other words, the reaction pathway is not determined by thermodynamic factors but is rather due to a lesser contribution of heterocyclisation because of the protonation of the heteroatom in superacids. In the study by Baig et al, 39 the effect of the medium was neglected and the structure 84 was ascribed to the ion generated from the alcohol 81 in a superacid. As a matter of fact, this ion has the structure 82 38 (Scheme 3, see Ref.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
