Abstract
A photo-induced halogen exchange in aryl or vinyl halides enables the synthesis of a broad scope of aryl iodides at room temperature under exceptionally mild conditions without any metal or photo-redox catalysts. The presence of a catalytic amount of elemental iodine could promote the reaction significantly.
