Non‐covalent molecular interactions on the basis of halogen and chalcogen bonding
represent a promising, powerful catalytic activation mode. However, these “unusual” non …

Nucleophilic displacement of the propargylic alcohol is one of the sought-after methods in
the current scenario. The highly nucleophilic alkyne functional moiety along with its …

Halogen bonding, the noncovalent interaction based on electrophilic halogen substituents,
features very interesting properties, as illustrated by numerous applications continuously …

Halogen bonding is a noncovalent interaction similar to hydrogen bonding, which is based
on electrophilic halogen substituents. Hydrogen‐bonding‐based organocatalysis is a well …

In contrast to hydrogen bonding, which is firmly established in organocatalysis, there are still
very few applications of halogen bonding in this field. Herein, we present the first catalytic …

A halogen-bond-promoted double radical isocyanide insertion with perfluoroalkyl iodides is
reported. With perfluoroalkyl iodides as halogen-bond donors and organic bases as …

36 halogen-bonded complexes YX⋯ ARm (X: F, Cl, Br; Y: donor group; ARm acceptor
group) have been investigated at the CCSD (T)/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory. Binding …

An efficient protocol for the synthesis of thioether directly from heteroarenes has been
developed in the presence of visible light in a one-pot manner at room temperature. This …

This Perspective elaborates on the currently unfolding interest in integrating unorthodox non-
covalent interactions into functional systems. Initial emphasis is on anion− π interactions at …

A halogen bond catalyzed bromo‐carbocyclization of N‐cinnamyl sulfonamides and O‐
cinnamyl phenyl ethers has been developed. N‐methyl 4‐iodopyridinium triflate is used as …
