Abstract
This paper responds to the preceeding article by Professor T. Tidwell in which he provides arguments for vinyl cations being an intermediate in most electrophilic additions to alkynes. This paper underlines the different experimental results obtained from alkenes and alkynes and points out that most, if not all, well-established vinyl cation have been found to rearrange although such rearrangement is rare in electrophilic additions to alkynes.

The Anomalous Reactivity of Fluorobenzene in Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution and Related Phenomena
Joel Rosenthal and David I. SchusterJournal of Chemical Education2003 80 (6), 679The Anomalous Reactivity of Fluorobenzene in Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution and Related Phenomena
Joel Rosenthal and David I. SchusterJournal of Chemical Education2003 80 (6), 679Fluorobenzene (PhF) displays a reactivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS) that is, at first glance, anomalous in comparison to the reactivity of the other halobenzenes. This is borne out by the fact that the rates of typical EAS reactions on ...
