[reaction: see text]. Iodonium ions, o-alkynyl-substituted carbonyl compounds, and alkynes react to give 1-iodonaphthalene derivatives featuring interesting substitution patterns. The reaction with alkenes instead of acetylenes affords related naphthyl ketone derivatives. These two metal-free processes are conducted at room temperature

Iodonium ions liberated from bis(pyridine)iodonium(I) tetrafluoroborate react with ortho-alkynyl-substituted carbonyl compounds and different nucleophiles to give valuable iodinated heterocycles at room temperature, through a new and metal-free reaction sequence. Interestingly, the nature of the nucleophile can be widely modified, and
