In contrast to iodine (I)‐based halogen bond donors, iodine (III)‐derived ones have only
been used as Lewis acidic organocatalysts in a handful of examples, and in all cases they …

Herein, we present a synthetic procedure for the facile and general preparation of novel S-
alkenyl and dienyl phosphoro (di) thioates for the first time. Extensive mechanistic …

The catalytic potential of organo‐onium iodides as nucleophilic catalysts is aptly
demonstrated in the synthesis of cyclic carbonates from epoxides and carbon dioxide (CO2) …

Recent results indicate a halogen bond donor is strengthened through direct interaction with
a hydrogen bond to the electron-rich belt of the halogen. Here, this Hydrogen Bond …

A stable, hypervalent cyclic dibenzoiodolium salt acted as a strong halogen bonding (XB)‐
donor catalyst for [4+ 2] cycloaddition of 2‐alkenylindoles, and not as an oxidizing agent …

The photochemical catalyst‐free radical‐based synthesis of vinyl and 1, 3‐dienyl sulfones is
disclosed. Mechanistic investigations support that the transformations rely on a visible‐light …

The first visible-light-induced protocol for the general preparation of alkenyl thiocyanates
from alkenyl bromides is presented. The reaction is simple, proceeds under very mild …

The nature of the C− I⋅⋅⋅ π halogen bonding and its mode of activation in organocatalysis
have been quantitatively explored in detail by means of Density Functional Theory (DFT) …

Recently, the halogen bonding catalysis in Aza‐Diels‐Alder reaction is increasing
gloriously. In this work, the mechanism of the Aza‐Diels‐Alder reaction between imine and …

A chiral quinine-derived organic base catalyst with halogen bond donor functionality was
used to catalyze the asymmetric double Mannich reaction of malononitrile with N-Boc and N …
