Chloroiodomethane Usage And Synthesis

Description

Chloroiodomethane is a halogenated hydrocarbon that has been studied for its photolytic properties. For instance, the photolysis of chloroiodomethane in cryogenic matrices along with recombination of the nascent radical pair was studied.

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.

Solubility in organics

Miscible with acetone, benzene, diethyl ether and alcohol.
