First sentence: Carbocations are a class of reactive intermediates that have been studied for 100 years, since the colored solution formed when triphenylmethanol was dissolved in sulfuric acid was characterized as containing the triphenylmethyl cation.
Description: "Reactive Intermediate Chemistry presents an up-to-date, authoritative guide to this fundamental area of organic chemistry. Intended as a free-standing resource for the entire chemical community, it should be especially useful for graduate students as a primary or supplemental textbook. This volume features a "three-dimensional" approach in which reactive intermediates are considered by class, the kinetic realms they inhabit, and in historical context, connecting the older, product-based chemistry with contemporary direct observational and computational approaches. Reactive Intermediate Chemistry is a reference for the student or professional in academic, pharmaceutical, or industrial laboratories."--Jacket.
