Ammonium Iodide

Ammonium iodide — CAS number 12027-06-04 — is a highly soluble, white crystalline salt that serves as a source of iodine in various chemical reactions. Iofina supplies ammonium iodide with strict quality control, ensuring it meets industry standards for a variety of essential uses.

What Is Ammonium Iodide?

Ammonium iodide is a chemical compound composed of ammonium and iodide. It typically appears as a white or colorless crystalline solid and is highly soluble in water. In organic synthesis, the compound serves as a source of iodine for the production of iodinated compounds. It is also hygroscopic and must be stored properly in a dry, sealed container. 

It often plays a role in the preparation of iodinated compounds and can act as a precursor in synthesizing other iodine salts. Due to its reactive nature, ammonium iodide is used for various chemical reactions in laboratory and industrial settings, where it contributes to the formation of alkyl iodides and other iodine-based compounds. The compound is sensitive to moisture, requiring careful handling and storage. 

Applications for Ammonium Iodide

The ability of this compound to release iodine makes it valuable in several key processes:

  • Pharmaceutical formulations: Manufacturers use ammonium iodide to produce iodine-based medications, including treatments for iodine deficiencies and antiseptic solutions. 
  • Organic synthesis: Chemists rely on it as a reagent to synthesize iodinated compounds like alkyl iodides and other iodine derivatives. 
  • Medical imaging: The compound acts as a precursor in contrast agents, enhancing the visibility of tissues and organs in imaging procedures. 
  • Dye production: Industries use ammonium iodide to create iodine-containing dyes for textile and food applications. 
  • Halide exchange reactions: Scientists use it in Finkelstein reactions, where halide ions exchange, enabling the formation of alkyl iodides. 
  • Sterilization: Ammonium iodide contributes to producing disinfectants and sanitizing agents for industrial use.
