A stereoselective method has been developed for the synthesis of (Z)-and (E)-allyl iodides from Baylis–Hillman adducts using polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) and iodine in chloroform at room temperature. In addition, the reagent system has been utilized for the iodination of benzylic alcohols selectively.
