CARBOCATION CATALYSIS IN THE SYNTHESIS OF HETEROCYCLIC COMPOUNDS

Abstract
The data on the use of carbocationic catalysis in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds presented in the literature over the last 5–10 years are summarized and analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the discussion of reaction mechanisms and the problem of selectivity.
