Chloroiodomethane is the halomethane with the formula is CH
2ClI. It is a colorless liquid of use in organic synthesis.[1] Together with other iodomethanes, chloroiodomethane is produced by some microorganisms.[2]
Applications
Chloroiodomethane is used in
epoxidation, ring opening and addition to terminal alkenes. It is a precursor to agent Ph3P=CHCl that can add a chloromethylene group (=CHCl).[1] It reacts with organolithium compounds to give chloromethyl lithium (ClCH2Li).[3]
Crystallography
It crystallizes
lattice constants: a = 6.383, b = 6.706, c = 8.867 (.10−1 nm).[4]
