BromoBenzene ---> IodoBenzene

[reveng3r]

Anyone have any idea on synthesising BromoBenzene to IodoBenzene?

Where BromoBenzene has a lower reactivity than IodoBenzene.

Thanks in advance

Take 5 Eq of KI and add it to bromobenzene in acteone/Acetonitrile and reflux for 24 hrs, you will get iodobenzene
