Radical Iodoalkylation Reagent

Efficient under visible light

Employing dispersion-induced cooperative hydrogen atom transfer with iodoform as a bifunctional iodine source, this reagent enables radical iodoalkylative cyclization of alkynes under visible light, offering a mild route to carbon-iodine bond formation.
