Abstract

In several instances, quaternary carbon centers have been generated by reactions proceeding via tertiary carbenium ions. Examples are the tert-alkylations of carbonyl compounds, 2 reactions of tert-alkyl halides with alkylaluminium3* or alkyltitanium geminal dimethylations of ketones, 3c carbocationic cyclizations $ and Lewis acid catalyzed additions of alkyl and allyl halides toward alkene^.^
