Chloroiodomethane Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

CLEAR PALE YELLOW TO PINK-REDDISH LIQUID

Uses

Chloroiodomethane is used as an intermediate in pharmaceuticals, organic synthesis, agrochemicals and dyestuff. It is also useful in cyclopropanation (Simmon-Smith reaction), Mannich reaction, aminomethylation and in epoxidation.

General Description

The photolysis of chloroiodomethane in cryogenic matrices along with recombination of the nascent radical pair was studied.
