Oxoammonium salts are catalysing efficient and selective halogenation of olefins, alkynes and aromatics.

ABSTRACT: Electrophilic halogenation reactions have been a reliable approach to accessing organohalides. During the past decades, various catalytic systems have been developed for the activation of haleniums. However, there is still a short of effective catalysts, which could cover various halogenation reactions and broad scope of unsaturated compounds. Herein, TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine nitroxide) and its derivatives are disclosed as active catalysts for electrophilic halogenation of olefins, alkynes, and aromatics. These catalysts are stable, readily available, and reactive enough to activate haleniums including Br⁺, I⁺ and even Cl⁺ reagents. This catalytic system is applicable to various halogenations including haloarylation of olefins or dibromination o
