A metal‐free, efficient, practical, and convenient process based on an iodine‐catalyzed oxidative cleavage reaction has been developed to form 1,2‐diaryldiketons in high yields from 1,3‐diaryldiketones. The reaction is performed in DMSO and in air, and a mechanism was proposed according to the reaction evidence.
