title: A novel stereoselective one-pot conversion of alcohols into alkyl halides mediated by N,N'-diisopropylcarbodiimide.
abstract: Alcohols can be converted in high yields to the corresponding alkyl halides in a one-pot procedure via the corresponding O-alkylisourea; very short reaction times are possible when microwave irradiation is used.
