Metal triflates: On the question of Lewis versus Br?nsted acidity in retinyl carbocation formation
Williams, D. Bradley G.,Lawton, Michelle
, p. 68 - 71 (2010)
Al(OTf)3 generates blue carbocations from retinyl acetate. The mechanism appears to be exclusively water-derived induced Br?nsted acidity causing loss of acetic acid, not Lewis-mediated acetate abstraction. Dry DCM (1 ppm water) avoided water i
Transient Phenomena in the Pulse Radiolysis of Retinyl Polyenes. 2. Protonation Kinetics
Bobrowski, K.,Das, P. K.
, p. 1704 - 1709 (2007/10/02)
The results of a study are presented concerning the kinetics of reactions of various retinyl derivatives with hydrogen ions released pulse rediolytically in aerated 2-propanol containing 0.5 M acetone and 0.2 M carbon tetrachloride.For retinal and polyene
