Graphical Abstract
Se salt: The use of trisubstituted selenonium salts as organic Lewis acids in electrophilic halogenation and aldol-type reactions has been developed. The substrate scope is broad. The reaction conditions are mild and compatible with various functionalities. This study opens a new avenue for the development of non-metallic Lewis acid catalysis.
