Jodietyleeni

Jodietyleeni, also known as 1,1-diiodoethylene, is an organoiodine compound with the chemical formula C2H2I2. It is a colorless liquid at room temperature and has a relatively high boiling point due to the presence of the heavy iodine atoms. Its structure consists of a carbon-carbon double bond with two iodine atoms attached to one of the carbon atoms.

This compound is primarily of interest in academic research and is not widely used in industrial applications. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of the two iodine atoms on the same carbon, making it susceptible to various chemical transformations. For instance, it can undergo reactions such as addition reactions across the double bond or substitution reactions involving the iodine atoms.

The synthesis of jodietyleeni typically involves specific organic chemistry procedures, often starting from readily available precursors and employing reagents that facilitate the introduction of iodine atoms. Due to its specialized nature, it is not commonly found in commercial markets and is usually prepared on a small scale for experimental purposes. Safety precautions are necessary when handling organoiodine compounds, as they can exhibit varying degrees of toxicity and may require specific storage conditions.
