Multidentate Halogen-Bond Donors as Lewis Acidic Activators or Catalysts in Halide Abstraction Reactions

Abstract

Although halogen bonds share many similarities with hydrogen bonds, they have so far found virtually no application in organic synthesis. This account summarizes our efforts to use multidentate halogen-bond donors (halogen-based Lewis acids) in formal halide abstraction reactions. Following a first proof-of-principle study, we recently reported the first halogen-bond-based organocatalytic carbon–carbon bond-forming reaction.

Key words

halogen bonds - halogens - iodine - catalysis - supramolecular chemistry
