Activation of a carbonyl compound by halogen bondingElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See DOI: 10.1039/c4cc03124e

Using a prototypical Diels-Alder reaction as benchmark, we show that dicationic halogen-bond donors are capable of activating a neutral organic substrate. By various comparison experiments, the action of traces of acid or of other structural features of the halogen-bond donor not related to halogen...

Description
Summary:Using a prototypical Diels-Alder reaction as benchmark, we show that dicationic halogen-bond donors are capable of activating a neutral organic substrate. By various comparison experiments, the action of traces of acid or of other structural features of the halogen-bond donor not related to halogen bonding are excluded with high certainty. Using a prototypical Diels-Alder reaction as benchmark, we show that dicationic halogen-bond donors are capable of activating a neutral organic substrate.
