title: Aryne insertion into I-I σ-bonds.
abstract: A new protocol for the efficient synthesis of o-diiodoarenes has been developed. This method allows the synthesis of substituted and polycyclic o-diiodoarenes, which are difficult to obtain by classical methods. This diiodination process involves the formal insertion of arynes into the I-I σ-bond.
