A Green Protocol for the Bromination and Iodination of the Aromatic Compounds using H5IO6/NaBr and H5IO6/NaI in the Water

Bromination and iodination of the aromatic compounds have efficiently been carried out at room temperature and 70 degrees C, respectively, in short reaction times using orthoperiodic acid/sodium bromide (1:2) and orthoperiodic acid/sodium iodide (1:2) in water to prepare the corresponding halo compounds with excellent yields.
