Technology Process of Iodo(iodomethyl)mercury

There total 4 articles about Iodo(iodomethyl)mercury which guide to synthetic route it. The literature collected by LookChem mainly comes from the sharing of users and the free literature resources found by Internet computing technology. We keep the original model of the professional version of literature to make it easier and faster for users to retrieve and use. At the same time, we analyze and calculate the most feasible synthesis route with the highest yield for your reference as below:

synthetic route:

Reference yield: 86.0%

bis(iodomethyl)mercury (4819-11-8) → (Iodomethyl)mercuric iodide (141-51-5)

Guidance literature:

With CH₃C(O)OCHCH₂; In further solvent(s); byproducts: CH3C(O)OCH(CH2)2; under N2 or Ar, stirred for 4h at 80°C, excess of olefin was solvent;

Reference yield:

diiodomethane (75-11-6) + mercury → (Iodomethyl)mercuric iodide (141-51-5)

Guidance literature:

In neat (no solvent); byproducts: CH2Hg2I2; contact of Hg with CH2I2 ambient temp.; acceleration of reaction on warming;;

Reference yield:

mercury(II) iodide + bis(iodomethyl)mercury (4819-11-8) → (Iodomethyl)mercuric iodide (141-51-5)

Guidance literature:

In neat (no solvent); stirred of HgI2 and Hg(CH2I)2 on steam bath until molten, heated for 30min; detected by TLC;

upstream raw materials:

diiodomethane

bis(iodomethyl)mercury

Downstream raw materials:
