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
