Published: November 2012

The halogenation of primary alcohols is presented. The use of a combination of tetraethylammonium halide and [Et(2)NSF(2)]BF(4) (XtalFluor-E) allows for chlorination and bromination reactions to proceed efficiently (up to 92% yield) with a wide range of alcohols. Iodination reactions are also possible albeit in lower yields.
