Bromoiodomethane, also known as bromo-iodomethane, is a halogenated organic compound with the molecular formula CH2BrI. It is characterized by the presence of both bromine and iodine atoms attached to a methane backbone, making it a member of the haloalkane family. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet odor, and it is known for its relatively high density compared to water. Bromoiodomethane is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It is primarily used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various chemical intermediates and as a reagent in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Due to the presence of halogens, it exhibits significant reactivity, especially in the presence of nucleophiles. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this compound, as it can be harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin, and it may pose environmental hazards. Proper storage and disposal methods should be followed to mitigate any risks associated with its use.
