Stabilizing 4π electron pyrrolyl cations by inducing aromaticity
The pyrrolyl cation is a 4π electron ring system which is anti-aromatic and unstable. This work reports an experimental procedure to obtain stable pyrrolyl cations. Electron donation from N-heterocyclic carbenes makes the ring stable by converting a 4π electron ring system into a 6π electron ring system.
