Applications of α-Keto Carbocations in Carbon-Carbon and Carbon-Nitrogen Bond Formation

This thesis describes synthetic applications of α-keto carbocations, which represent potentially useful, but poorly studied, reversed polarity equivalents of enolates. In the first chapter, a Ag(I) – mediated method for the nucleophilic displacement of α-halocarbonyl compounds to construct carbon-ca...
