Simple and inexpensive polyhalides (CCl4 and C2Cl6) have been found to be effective and versatile oxidants in removing electrons from Breslow intermediates under N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis. This oxidative reaction involves multiple single‐electron‐transfer (SET) processes and several radical intermediates. The α, β, and γ‐carbon atoms of aldehydes and enals could be readily functionalized

mediated by N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) enables the direct β‐carbon functionalization of saturated aldehydes (see scheme). The reaction proceeds through two sequential oxidative steps to generate α,β‐unsaturated triazolium ester equivalents as formal Michael acceptors, which react with 1,3‐diketones and β‐ketone esters in an enantioselective manner.
