Whereas the conventional anti-dihalogenation of alkenes is a valuable synthetic tool with
highly predictable stereospecificity, the restricted reaction mechanism makes it challenging …

Alteration of a well-established reaction mechanism for access to different molecular
structures is an inherently intriguing research subject. In that context, syn-stereospecific …

The textbook alkene halogenation reaction establishes straightforward access to vicinal
dihaloalkanes. However, a robust catalytic method for dihalogenizing electron-deficient …

The textbook alkene halogenation reaction establishes straightforward access to vicinal
dihaloalkanes. However, robust catalytic methods to perform dihalogenation in a …

The dihalogenation of alkenes is one of the classic reactions in organic chemistry and a
prime example of an electrophilic addition reaction. The often observed anti‐selectivity in …

We explored the ambiphilic reactivity of SF5‐alkynes, and we proved they can act as both
nucleophiles and electrophiles. We selected halogenation reactions as benchmark …

As some of the oldest organic chemical reactions known, the ionic additions of elemental
halogens such as bromine and chlorine to alkenes are prototypical examples of …

Transition metal-catalyzed ortho-functionalization of cyclic diaryliodonium salts has been
well developed. Herein we present a transition-metal free meta-halogenation of readily …

We have developed a hydrogen bond network-assisted highly regio-and stereoselective
(radio) dihalogenation of alkynes and alkenes using two nucleophilic alkali metal salts …

Although recent years have witnessed significant advances in the development of catalytic,
enantioselective halofunctionalizations of alkenes, the related dihalogenation of olefins to …
