Abstract
The usefulness of the intermolecular cohalogenation in organic synthesis is reviewed. After a short background of this almost centenarian reaction we develop some mechanistic considerations in order to explain briefly the exceptional regio-, chemo- and stereoselectivity of this simple process, which allows the facile preparation of various bifunctional derivatives. Cohalogenation with oxygen and nitrogen containing nucleophiles such as water, hydrogen peroxide, carboxylic acid derivatives, alcohols, ethers, nitriles, amines and pseudohalogens are presented successively in wide detail and we focus on the different applications of the cohalogenated compounds
