The use of H3PO3/I2 enables a reductive iodination of various aromatic aldehydes to produce benzyl iodides. The benzyl iodides can be converted into diarylmethanes or cyclic compounds in good yields via in situ Friedel-Crafts type reactions.

The aqueous stability of deuterated calcium/sodium hypophosphites as nontoxic, cost-effective, and environmentally benign deuteration reagents enables deuteration of a broad range alkyl and aryl iodides with ample isotopic incorporation in aqueous (H2O) solution using 2,2′-azobis(2-methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride as radical initiator.
