Abstract

Despite the remarkable advancements in hypervalent iodine chemistry, exploration of bromine and chlorine analogues remains in its infancy due to their difficult synthesis. Herein, we introduce six‐membered cyclic λ3‐bromanes and λ3‐chloranes. Through single‐crystal X‐ray structural analyses and conformational studies, we delineate the crucial bonding patterns pivotal for the thermodynamic stability of these compounds. Notably, these investigations reveal pronounced π‐π stacking phenomena within the crystal lattice of hypercoordinated bromine(III) and chlorine(III) species. Their reactivity profile is explored as they are radical precursors or electrophilic reagents in metal‐free intermolecular biaryl couplings, O‐ and S‐arylations, and Cu(I)‐promoted intramolecular biaryl couplings which is complementary to the known reactivity of five‐membered bromanes and chloranes. Mechanistic insights are provided, elucidating the pathways governing their reactivity and underscoring the potential in organic synthesis.
