Haloesterifications using easily obtainable alkenes and carboxylic acids have unique industrial benefits. The first general catalytic asymmetric iodoesterification of simple alkenes was achieved by T. Arai and co‐workers in their Communication on page 12680 by using a dinuclear zinc‐3,3′‐( R,S,S )‐bis(aminoimino)binaphthoxide complex. The picture represents a harmonizing quartet of metal ionic bond, hydrogen bond, halogen bond, and π–π stacking, acting together to enable the asymmetric iodoesterification of simple alkenes.
