A molecular iodine catalyzed hydroarylation of styrenes by arenes has been developed. This reaction could be carried out at 25 °C under a solvent-free condition, giving rise to the corresponding products with yields up to 93%. A series of 1,1-diarylalkane derivatives were easily prepared without any involvement of metal catalysts.
