Abstract

Herein, we report a heterogeneous, metal-free photocatalytic carbonylation of iodoalkanes using mesoporous graphitic carbon nitride under visible-light irradiation. This system efficiently converts a broad range of iodoalkanes and nucleophiles into diverse products under mild conditions. The catalyst demonstrates excellent functional group tolerance and can be readily recovered and reused for at least six cycles without significant loss of activity.
