A novel visible-light-introduced reaction for the construction of phenols via hydroxylation of aryl halides has been developed. The reaction has been achieved in high yield under mild conditions by using iodine as photocatalyst, which is cheap, easy to handle and environmentally friendly. A variety of phenols were obtained in up to 92% yields. Moreover, aryl chlorides were also successfully employed as substrates, affording the target phenols in good isolated yields. It might provide promising protocol for the synthesis of phenol derivatives. Its application was performed by the synthesis of 5-acetyl-4-hy-droxy-2-methoxybenzyl diisopropylcarbamodithioate, which displayed significant anti-proliferation effect.

Key words: visible-light promoted, iodine, aryl halides, hydroxylation
