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 nonmetallic Lewis acid catalysis.
