Hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) is a solvent with unique properties that has recently gained attention for promoting wide range of challenging chemical reactions. It was initially believed HFIP almost exclusively involved in the stabilization cationic intermediates, owing to its high polarity and low nucleophilicity. However, many cases, mechanism action appears be more complex. Recent findings reveal Lewis Brønsted acid-catalyzed transformations conducted additionally involve cooperation...
