Abstract
AbstractAlthough halogen‐bonding has been utilized as an emerging means for activation of substrates, the use of the interaction for activation of relatively low Lewis basic electrophiles such as carbonyl compounds is still limited. Herein, we developed the halogen‐bonding‐donor donor catalyzed cyanosilylation of aldehydes via a synergistic activation mechanism, which were supported by a combined computational and experimental approach. The substrate scope for the reaction and the chemoselectivity of cationic XB‐donors are described.
