Lautens and Tong have independently developed the unique palladium-catalyzed carbohalogenation of alkenes in both intra- and intermolecular fashions. It is quite interesting that the reaction mechanism involves the reductive elimination giving carbon-iodine bonds. This type of reactions will provide new synthetic methods of complex molecules including carbon-halogen bonds.
