Abstract

A simple, general and efficient method enables a metal-free iodination of arylboronic acids with molecular iodine as the halide source and potassium carbonate as the base. The method tolerates various functional groups and can also be applied very effectively in a one-pot, two-step synthesis of biaryl derivatives.
