Organocatalyzed direct asymmetric
-halogenation of carbonyl compoundsMitsuhiro Ueda, Taichi Kano and Keiji Maruoka
The formation of carbon–halogen bonds in an enantioselective manner is an important reaction because it leads to optically active halogen compounds, which are useful intermediates for further elaboration to other valuable compounds. Within the past few years various enantioselective
-halogenations of carbonyl compounds by asymmetric organocatalysis have been reported. Most importantly, these recent developments have greatly enhanced the synthetic utility of -halogenations and opened up a promising new frontier in organic synthesis.
