Iofina produces various chemical derivatives from extracted iodine for your business use. Bromoiodomethane is a chemical compound used in applications from pharmaceuticals to agrochemicals and beyond. Whatever the application, we can provide this compound in minimum order quantities of one kilogram.
This compound is a halomethane, which means it is a derivative of methane (CH4) with one or more hydrogen atoms replaced with halogen atoms. Bromoiodomethane’s chemical formula is BrCH2I. It is a dense, colorless liquid at room temperature, though older samples may appear yellow. The compound also goes by bromo(iodo)methane and bromo-iodo-methane. Its Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) number is 557-68-6. At Iofina, we ensure the high quality of our bromoiodomethane through rigorous quality control, offering purity levels of 98% or higher.
This dense compound has a molecular weight of 220.84 grams per mol. Its tendency to dissolve in fats is demonstrated by XLogP3-AA, which has a value of 1.7, meaning it is slightly more soluble in fats than water. It includes three heavy atoms and one covalently bonded unit.
Its refractive index value is n20/D 1.6382, meaning that light travels approximately 1.6382 times slower in bromoiodomethane at 20 degrees Celsius than in a vacuum when measured at the sodium D-line wavelength. The substance boils at temperatures ranging from 138 to 141 degrees Celsius.
This substance is corrosive and an irritant. It can cause skin irritation, serious eye damage and respiratory irritation, which means those who handle it must use gloves, protective clothing, eye protection and face protection. Various precautionary statement codes instruct proper handling, including using this chemical only in well-ventilated areas and keeping the container locked up and tightly closed for storage.
This compound has several applications, including as the reactant in carbene insertion reactions, which synthesize complex molecules. It is also used in ultrafast photodissociation, in which molecules absorb light and break apart.
Bromoiodomethane serves in the production of various drugs, ranging from anti-inflammatory to antiviral compounds. It supports the production of agrochemicals like herbicides, fungicides and insecticides. In the electronics industry, it is used to create electronic chemicals and as a solvent for producing electronic components. This compound is also an ingredient in perfumes and fragrances.
We specialize in producing iodine and specialty chemical derivatives, including bromoiodomethane. Our production process is the most eco-friendly. We use WET® IOsorb® technology to extract natural iodine from the water in oil wells, which would otherwise be wasted. Once we extract the iodine, we return the water to the well. Our commercial quantities of iodinated and fluorinated derivatives serve numerous applications.
We continue to invest in researching and developing new specialty compounds for uses across industries ranging from animal nutrition to oil and gas. We utilize our business to do good in the world around us, from participating in science education programs to donating to areas impacted by natural disasters.
We supply numerous specialized chemical solutions, including iodides like bromoiodomethane. If you require this substance for your application, fill out our contact form below. We’ll provide an estimate based on the quantity you need.
