CBr4 has been employed as a halogen bond donor catalyst for the selective activation of aldehyde, to achieve an efficient solvent- and metal-free C═C bond forming reaction in the presence of strong acid sensitive groups such as methoxy, cyanide, ester, and ketal for the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated ketones. This unique capability of CBr4 to act as a halogen bond donor has been explored and established

meta position particularly favor cyclization. There was no obvious correlation of cyclization selectivity with calculated electron densities as has been suggested for electrophilicaromaticsubstitutionreactions. However, the calculated selectivities determined by a gas-phase (B3LYP/6-31G* + ZPVE) comparison of the relative rates of cyclization were in remarkably good agreement with the observed selectivities
