Novel halactolactonizations using NBS (2), NIS(3), and NSP(4) in dry DMF were found to be the most reasonable and efficient procedures. The participation of X as the cylization initiator could be clarly rationalized by experimental results and the regioselectivities of formed halolactones were reasonably elucidated by weakly bridged carbonium ion intermediate.
