magic acid

Description:
Magic acid, scientifically known as a superacid, is a highly potent acid that is primarily composed of a mixture of fluorosulfonic acid (FSO3H) and antimony pentafluoride (SbF5). It is characterized by its extraordinary ability to protonate even weak bases, making it one of the strongest known acids. Magic acid can protonate hydrocarbons, which typically do not react with conventional acids, leading to the formation of carbocations. This property makes it invaluable in organic chemistry for facilitating reactions that would otherwise be difficult or impossible. The acid is typically handled under anhydrous conditions due to its reactivity with water, which can lead to the formation of corrosive byproducts. Additionally, magic acid is known for its ability to stabilize reactive intermediates, thus playing a crucial role in various synthetic pathways. Due to its extreme acidity and reactivity, it requires careful handling and specialized equipment to ensure safety in laboratory settings.
