Acyl
intermediates include acyl anions, acyl radicals and acyl cations (synonym acylium ions) which are formally derived from
oxoacids
RkE(=O)l(OH)m
(
l ≠ 0)
by removal of a hydroxyl
cation
HO+
, a hydroxyl radical
HO.
or a hydroxyl
anion
HO−
, respectively, and replacement analogues of such intermediates. Acyl anions, radicals and cations can formally be represented by canonical forms having a negative charge, an unpaired electron or a positive charge on the acid-generating element of the oxoacid. Acyl anions. E.g.
Acyl radicals. E.g.
Acyl cations. E.g.
