Congratulations to Yanick Schriefers.on the discovery of a direct access to "electron-rich" triphenylcarbenium triflates via a Friedel Crafts cascade from carboxylic acids and arenes. The paper was just accepted in EurJIC. Check it out at:
chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com
The formation of three distinct trityl cations from benzoic acids and arenes is reported. These findings are envisioned to help design future synthetic processes to form trityl cation Lewis acids.

Thank you for the exciting talk and discussions! See you soon!.
Thanks for the wonderful visit I @WerzLab @UniFreiburg @FreiburgChem enjoyed at RWTH Aachen @FFMulks @Schoenebeck_Lab @LeonoriLab @ReneKoenigs @Patureau_group @BannwarthTC. A great place to do outstanding chemistry!

Wonderful, maybe even some organic chemists may give it a shot soon! 🙋.
Now anyone is able to synthesise it😉 Just out in @angew_chem. Easily accessible route for fluorinated trityl cations, which are stable at RT. Huge hydride affinity to activate alkanes such as n-pentane or n-butane. Great work @JohannaSchlogl and team.
