C-X(Halogen) Bond Formation [Synthetic Reagents]

Halogenation is a basic and fundamental transformation in organic chemistry, and halogenated compounds are of extreme importance as building blocks in organic synthesis. The development of modern coupling reactions, such as the Suzuki-Miyaura and Mizoroki-Heck reactions, have greatly increased the demand for halogenated compounds as starting materials. In response to this situation, many novel halogenating reagents have been developed.
