Mechanistic insights into the regioselectivity in the halogenation of α-haloketones in acetic acid.

Mechanistic insights into the mechanism and regioselectivity of the halogenation of α-haloketones in acetic acid were obtained with 3-chloro/bromobutan-2-ones and 2-chloro/bromocyclohexanones as model substrates. The results indicate that the enoliza…
