Diiodomethane (Methylene Iodide)

Diiodomethane (Methylene Iodide)

We have received immense appreciation from our clients for manufacturing and supplying Diiodomethane (Methylene Iodide). It is a colorless liquid which is used in the determination of mineral density and as a contact liquid in detection of refractive index of some gemstones. This compound is formulated by reducing idoform with elemental phosphorus or sodium arsenite. It also serves as a free radical methylene reagent in Simmons-Smith reaction. Diiodomethane (Methylene Iodide) liberates iodine when exposed to light.

Features:

  • Also used as a probe solvent in the measurement of polymer surfaces hydrophilicity
  • May be required in preparation of cyclopropyl ketones
  • Contains copper as a stabilizer
