Oxonium and Thionium ion as intermediate

oxonium ion:
In chemistry, the oxonium ion is any oxygen cation with three bonds.The simplest oxonium ion is the hydronium ion H3O+.
Stable alkyloxonium salts exist; they are extensively used as alkylating agents. For example, triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate (Et3O+)(BF4
−) is a white crystalline solid.

Oxonium ions are excellent alkylating agents, and ethers can be conveniently prepared by treating them with alcohols or phenols
Alkyl halides can be alkylated by ethers or ketones to give oxonium salts

Oxonium in advance synthesis
The term “carbenoid” refers to a metal-bound carbene, which results in a more stable species as compared to a “free” carbene.

One of the earliest examples of oxonium ylide generation from catalytically generated metal carbenoids was provided by Nozaki et al. in 1966.

Pummerer rearrangement:
in fact Thionium is synonym for pummerer rearrangement

Mechanism
.Common activators besides acetic anhydride are trifluoroacetic anhydride and trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride Common nucleophiles besides acetates are arenes, alkenes, amides, and phenols.
Thionium:
19
Even neutral nucleophiles can be used due to the highly electrophilic nature of the sulfonium. for example, the electron-rich aromatic ring of veratrole.
