In summary, we have reported anti-hydrochlorination and
syn-iodochlorination of EBXs for the synthesis of highly
functionalized VBXs. Both the reactions are achieved using
extremely simple reagents under mild, open-air conditions with
high stereoselectivity. The 2-chloro VBXs synthesized by the
hydrochlorination serve as versatile building blocks for the
stereoselective synthesis of trisubstituted alkenes. The
