ETHYL IODIDE FOR SYNTHESIS
Ethyl iodide is prepared by using red phosphorus, absolute ethanol and iodine. the iodine dissolve in the ethanol where it react with the solid phosphorus to form phosphorus triiodide, which must be formed in situ because it is unstable. During the process the temperature is controlled.
Application
- Ethyl iodide, clear liquid; boiling at 72.3 C is used as an ethylating agent in organic synthesis for many application, for example, as solvents, intermediates for numerous chemicals, dyes, fumigants, sterilants, X-ray contrast media, antiseptics and pharmaceuticals.
