Chloroiodomethane

Product Overview

Chloroiodomethane, identified by CAS number 593-71-5, is a specialized halogenated methane derivative widely recognized for its utility in advanced organic synthesis. As a key building block in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research, this compound serves as a vital reagent for introducing both chloro and iodo functional groups into complex molecular structures. Our manufacturing process ensures high stability and purity, making it an essential component for laboratories and industrial production lines requiring precise halogenation reactions.

Produced under strict quality control standards, Chloroiodomethane is supplied as a colorless transparent liquid. The presence of both chlorine and iodine atoms on the methane backbone provides unique reactivity profiles, allowing chemists to perform selective substitutions and coupling reactions efficiently. This dual-halogen capability makes it superior to mono-halogenated alternatives for specific synthetic routes where differentiated leaving groups are required.

Technical Specifications

Industrial Applications

This chemical intermediate is primarily utilized in the synthesis of fine chemicals and pharmaceutical APIs. Its specific reactivity allows for the construction of complex carbon skeletons through nucleophilic substitution reactions. Researchers value Chloroiodomethane for its ability to facilitate cross-coupling reactions, where the iodine atom acts as a highly reactive leaving group while the chlorine atom remains intact for subsequent functionalization steps.

• Pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis for novel drug discovery.
• Agrochemical production requiring specific halogenated motifs.
• Organic chemistry research and development laboratories.
• Custom synthesis projects involving multi-step halogenation.

Quality Assurance and Safety

We adhere to rigorous quality management systems to ensure every batch meets international standards. Each shipment is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) verifying purity levels and physical constants. Given the substance's instability, proper handling protocols are essential. The material should be kept away from direct light and stored in a refrigerated environment to prevent decomposition. We recommend using amber glass bottles or stainless steel drums for long-term storage to maintain chemical integrity.

Packaging and Logistics

Our standard packaging option includes 200 kg drums, designed for safe industrial transport. However, we understand that different projects have varying needs, so custom packaging solutions are available according to customer requirements. As a global manufacturer, we ensure compliant labeling and documentation for international shipping. Our logistics team coordinates efficiently to deliver bulk orders on time, supporting your production schedules without interruption.
