The dihalogenation of alkenes is one of the classic reactions in organic chemistry and a
prime example of an electrophilic addition reaction. The often observed anti‐selectivity in …

Despite the fact that halogenation of alkenes has been known for centuries, enantioselective
variants of this reaction have only recently been developed. In the past three years, catalytic …
