An effective approach for the direct benzylhalogenation with in situ generation of hypervalent halides has been developed.A variety of benzyl halides are produced in moderate to excellent yields(up to 99%) with high regioselectivities.UV absorption spectrum is employed to detect the formation of tert-butyl hypoiodite.
