Using micelles of FI-750-M, visible light, photocatalysts, and inexpensive halogenating reagents, such as N-bromosuccinimide and N-chlorosuccinimde, selective oxyhalogenations of alkynes were achieved in water under very mild conditions. No halogenation at the aromatic rings was detected, and control experiments revealed the radical pathway. The easily conducted protocol exhibited high reproducibility, was readily adjusted to gram scale, and allowed for recycling of reaction medium and catalyst.
