GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS

Organic iodines are very useful reagents as they have lower heat of formation than chlorine or bromine analogues. Aliphatic Iodides are used as alkylating agents in synthetic organic chemistry. Iodoform is a simple structural compound; greenish yellow hexagonal solid with a strong, penetrating odor; containing about 96 per cent of iodine; melting point 119 C; soluble in chloroform and ether and somewhat in alcohol and water: used as a topical anti-infective, applied to the skin. Iodoacetic acid is used in biochemical research; it alkylates free thiol groups but not disulfide bridges. methyl iodide, also called iodomethane, is a colorless liquid that turns brown on exposure to light; used in microscopy and in testing for pyridine. It is irritating to skin and mucous membranes and is a suspected carcinogen. Ethylene diamine dihydroiodide is used in animal feeds to prevent deficiency of iodine. Iodine organic compounds are useful in dye industry for the high bright colors as well as pharmaceutical industry. They are important for the production of X-ray contrast media and for the formulating antiseptics.

2-Iodobenzoic acid is a starting material for the preparation of iodosobenzoate, useful oxidants (such as 2-Iodoxybenzoic acid) which performs the synthesis of carbonyl compounds from primary/secondary alcohols and unsaturated carbonyl compounds from carbonyl compounds. The traditional metal based oxidising reagents are replaced by iodosobenzoates due to their outstanding reactivity, selectivity and environment management. Trivalent iodine compounds perform mild oxidations, oxidative couplings, special iodinations and acetoxylations. Iodobenzoates are used as anti-infective, contraceptive agent and x-ray contrast medium for diagnostic radiology.
