Chloroiodomethane

Description:

Chloroiodomethane, also known as iodomethyl chloride, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula CH2ClI. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid that is characterized by its strong, pungent odor. This compound is classified as a haloalkane, containing both chlorine and iodine atoms attached to a methane backbone. Chloroiodomethane is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It is primarily used in organic synthesis as a reagent for introducing iodine into organic molecules and can serve as an alkylating agent. Due to the presence of halogens, it exhibits reactivity typical of haloalkanes, including nucleophilic substitution reactions. Chloroiodomethane is also considered hazardous; it can be toxic if inhaled or ingested and may cause skin and eye irritation. Proper safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation, are essential when handling this compound. Its applications in research and industry highlight its significance in the field of organic chemistry.

Chloroiodomethane, stabilised with copper

CAS: 593-71-5

Chloroiodomethane is a chemical that is used as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals. It is a colourless liquid with a strong odour. 3-Bromopropylamine hydrobromide reacts with chloroiodomethane to form 3-bromopropyl bromide, which can be reacted with hydrogen chloride to form the corresponding acid chloride. This reaction product can then be reacted with β-amino acids to form amides or esters. The reaction mechanism of this process involves nucleophilic substitution of chloroiodomethane by the amino group of the β-amino acid to produce an intermediate α,β-unsaturated carbonyl chloride, which undergoes elimination to give the final product. Chloroiodomethane also reacts rapidly with fatty acids and hydroxyl groups in biological systems, leading to inflammatory diseases such as HIV infection.
