Generation and Reactivity of the Antiaromatic 3,6-Dibromocarbazolyl Nitrenium Ion

Abstract The reactivity of the 3,6-dibromocarbazolyl nitrenium ion was investigated to determine how antiaromatic destabilization influences nitrenium ion chemistry. Laser flash photolysis and kinetic isotope effect experiments were employed to investigate the reactivity of this...
