Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.This work demonstrates an unconventional mechanism in Lewis basic selenium‐catalyzed electrophilic halogenation, where in situ oxidation of selenourea by the halogen source generates hypervalent Se‐imidazolium species. These intermediates function as hydrogen‐bond catalysts to activate N‐haloamide reagents, enabling efficient and mild halogenation of ...

Platinum‐Catalysed Hydrofluorination of Alkynes at Room Temperature Promoted by a Fluoride Shuttle
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.This work presents an air and moisture tolerant platinum‐catalysed hydrofluorination system that gives selectively (Z)‐fluoroalkenes. Experimental and computational investigation on the mechanism allowed for the identification of catalytic species. The hydrofluorination is mediated by complexes between the fluorinated anion and HF, resulting into BF3 ...
