Abstract

No heavy metals, no enzymes, and a simple protocol: the direct
iodination of aliphatic hydrocarbons, which has not been possible to
date, can now be carried out in multiphase systems [see for example Eq.
(1)]. In situ generated tetraiodomethane serves as a key intermediate in
this selective radical chain reaction initiated by a single electron
transfer. This room‐temperature, efficient transformation is highly
regioselective, easy to work‐up, and hence widely applicable.
