• strong hydrogen bond donor [N+–H···] moiety is envisaged to disrupt or severely hinder the strong halogen bonding interactions manifested in the non-HB pyridinium salt 9. Slow diffusion of ethyl acetate into the ethanol solution of 3-iodopyridinium chloride gave an X-ray-quality crystal of 10. The

• these new conditions (Method A), as well as results obtained under the previously reported conditions using pre-formed pyridinium salt 1 and trifluorotoluene as the solvent (Method B, entries 2, 4, and 6). Benzylations of monoglyme (3a) and Roche ester (3b) were accomplished with similar efficiency
