title: Highly efficient two-step synthesis of C-sp3-centered geminal diiodides.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Trisubstituted gem-diiodoalkenes of functionalized chains are efficiently reduced to the corresponding terminal geminal diiodides in high yields upon treatment with the diazene precursor, diethyl 4-(hydrazinosulfonyl)-benzyl phosphonate.
