The electrophilic addition of halogens is one of the most characteristic reactions of unsaturated hydrocarbons. In organic textbooks the cyclic three-membered halonium ions are postulated as key intermediates to account for the observed stereochemistry in halogenation reactions of alkenes. Strong experimental evidence supporting the mechanism comes from the reactions of hindered alkenes, which ...

A copper-catalyzed aminoalkynylation of alkenes is achieved with ethynylbenziodoxolone (EBX) reagents under mild conditions with only 1 mol% copper catalyst. This transformation allows for rapid construction of diverse important azahetereocycles and installation of valuable alkyne groups in one step. The developed method features remarkable substrate scope for both terminal and internal alkenes...
