Chlorodiiodomethane is a trihalomethane with the chemical formula CHClI2.[3][4]

Toxicity

[edit]

It is an environmental pollutant and, like other iodine-containing trihalomethanes (except iodoform), is less cytotoxic than the corresponding iodocarboxylic acids.[5][6]

Chemical properties

[edit]

It reacts with sodium hydroxide in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst to produce chloroiodocarbene, which can be added to olefins to produce 1-chloro-1-iodocyclopropane derivatives.[7]
