DESCRIPTION/APPLICATIONS
Ethyl iodide (also iodoethane) is a
colorless, flammable chemical compound. It has
the chemical formula C2H5I and is prepared by
heating ethanol with iodine and phosphorus.[1]
On contact with air, especially on the effect of
light, it decomposes and turns yellow or reddish
from dissolved iodine. Ethyl iodide is very good
with alkylation reactions |
