Abstract

The potential of iodine to replace environmentally problematic transition-metal-based Lewis acid catalysts has been thoroughly explored in the last century. However, due to the lack of further structural modifications of elemental iodine, organic-halogen-based Lewis acids working via the same noncovalent interaction (halogen bonding) were introduced. Recent developments have clearly indicated that these types of catalysts can provide at least the same performance as hydrogen-bonding-based ones. In this chapter, all conceptual developments in this field are presented and examples are provided, with a focus on non-transient halogen-bonding organocatalysis.
