Controlled α-mono- and α,α-di-halogenation of alkyl sulfones using reagent–solvent halogen bonding

Chem. Commun., 2019, Advance Article DOI: 10.1039/C9CC00550A, CommunicationChristopher M. Poteat, Vincent N. G. Lindsay The direct and selective α-halogenation of alkyl sulfones was achievedvia base-mediated electrophilic halogenation, where reagent –solvent halogen bonding was found to control the selectivity through alteration of the effective size of the halogen source.
