Halogen exchange of alkyl bromide (R–Br) with sodium iodide (NaI) was used for the transformation of R–Br to alkyl iodide (R–I) in situ in organocatalyzed living radical polymerization (LRP). R–Br was employed as a starting compound (precursor), and the R–I formed in situ was employed as an initiati...
