General description

Iodine monochloride is an interhalogen compound. It forms various complexes with ethyl, isopropyl and t-butylbenzenes. Electrically conducting solution of ICl is obtained on dissolution of ICl in polar solvents. ICl is a green oxidizing agent and participates in the following transformations:
  • aldose hemiacetals to the corresponding aldose lactones
  • diarylmethanols to the corresponding diarylmethanones
  • arylalkylmethanols to the corresponding arylalkylmethanones
  • dialkylmethanols to the corresponding dialkylmethanones

Application

Iodine monochloride (ICl) may be employed as a reagent in the following processes:
  • Halogenation of methoxy and dimethoxybenzenes
  • Synthesis of flavones.
  • Preparation of 1-naphthaldehydes.
It may be used as an iodinating agent in the conversion of alkylboranes to alkyl iodides.
