Strong halogen‐bond donors can be used to activate carbon–halogen bonds, and in the extreme case heterolytic cleavage of the CX bond results. In their Communication on page 7187 ff., S. M. Huber and co‐workers report that activated benzhydryl bromide undergoes a Ritter‐like reaction with acetonitrile to give N ‐benzhydryl acetamide.
