Electrophilic Cyclization Reactions: Mechanism-Inspired Methods Development

Abstract: 

Electophilic cyclizations are common reactions to form substituted heterocycles. Here investigations into two systems and the mechanistic findings are presented. In the first part haloboration versus cyclization is explored. Haloboration was found to be reversible and could be intercepted to form zwitterionic sulfonium borates which were analyzed by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.
