    Abstract

    A simple, efficient, regioselective, and ecofriendly method for oxyiodination of aromatic compounds is presented. In this method, the electrophilic substitutions of iodine generated in situ from KI as an iodine source and hydrogen peroxide as an oxygen source have been employed without any catalyst/mineral acid for the first time.
