Abstract

An efficient halogenation reaction has been developed with diaryliodonium salts and cuprous halides. Various diaryliodonium salts 1 could perform the reaction with readily available CuBr or CuCl in CH3CN at 80° C, assembling bromoarenes or chloroarenes in up to 92% yields. This provides us a method for the transformation from iodoarenes to other haloarenes.
