Iodomethane, also referred to as methyl iodide, is an organic compound. This compound has the chemical formula CH₃I and is classified as an alkyl halide. It is a colorless, sweet-smelling liquid that will develop a brown tint when exposed to light.
Because of the iodine atom, this liquid is highly reactive. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this volatile compound to avoid inhalation and skin contact.
Many industries use iodomethane, ranging from pharmaceutical to agricultural. The applications of iodomethane include:
