CAS 75-47-8

Iodoform

Description:

Iodoform, with the chemical formula CHI₃ and CAS number 75-47-8, is a yellow crystalline solid that is known for its distinctive antiseptic properties. It is a halogenated hydrocarbon, specifically a trihalomethane, where three hydrogen atoms are replaced by iodine atoms. Iodoform has a characteristic sweet, medicinal odor and is sparingly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents like alcohol and ether. It is primarily used in medical applications as an antiseptic and disinfectant, particularly in surgical dressings and as a topical antiseptic. Additionally, iodoform can be produced through the haloform reaction, where a methyl ketone reacts with iodine in the presence of a base. While it has beneficial uses, caution is advised due to its potential toxicity and the risk of iodine sensitivity in some individuals. Overall, iodoform is a notable compound in both organic chemistry and medicinal applications, valued for its antiseptic properties and historical significance in medical treatments.
