the heavier halogens (bromine and iodine) second, the scope and limitations of the halogenative phase‐transfer methodology will be discussed and compared. An extension of the fluorination/semi‐pinacol reaction to the ring‐expansion of five‐membered allylic cyclopentanols will be also described, as well as some preliminary results on substrates prone to desymmetrization will be given. Finally, the present
