In organic chemistry, α-keto halogenation is a special type of halogenation.
The reaction may be carried out under either acidic or basic conditions in an aqueous medium with the corresponding elemental halogen. In this way, chloride, bromide, and iodide functionality can be inserted selectively in the alpha position of a ketone. The position alpha to the carbonyl group (C=O) in a ketone is easily halogenated. This is due to its ability to form an enolate (C=C−O−) in basic solution, or an enol (
