This series covers a range of interesting organic and biological reactions involving generation of carbocations. Of particular interest are mechanisms of carbocation rearrangements, evidence of non-statistical dynamic effects playing a role in product formation for mechanisms involving carbocation intermediates, and applications in synthesis.
