Bromoiodomethane Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Bromoiodomethane is a halomethane with the formula BrCH2I. It is a colorless liquid, although older samples appear yellow. It can easily be decomposed by solar radiation, releasing Br and I atoms in the troposphere, which in turn impacts the atmospheric chemistry.

Uses

Reactant for:

• Carbene insertion reactions
• Ultrafast photodissociation
