Since 1963 Olah and his coworkers have used superacid media, particularly [HSO.sub.3.F] - [SbF.sub.5], to obtain stable solutions of a wide variety of alkyl carbenium ions. [7] The [HSO.sub.3.F] - [SbF.sub.5] superacid is widely known as magic acid.

Some of these carbenium ions (or their diazoprecursors) obviously do not alkylate DNA (initiation of a tumor), if the electrical charge distribution would not favor SN 1- or SN 2- reactions in organisms.
