Pentaerythrityl Tetraiodide

Ref. 3D-BAA52288

Product Information

• Name: Pentaerythrityl Tetraiodide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Pentaerythrityl Tetraiodide is a synthetic chemical that is used as a precursor to other organic compounds. It is generally not used on its own, but rather in the production of other substances. Pentaerythrityl Tetraiodide has been shown to be an effective catalyst for the synthesis of acrylonitrile and methyl ethyl ketone from chloroform and carbon tetrachloride. This compound is also thermodynamically stable at temperatures up to 200°C and has a dipole moment. The residue of pentaerythrityl tetraiodide can be quantified by measuring the chloride ion content in a sample, which can then be used as an indicator of pentaerythrityl tetraiodide's purity.
