| 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. |
| 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 |
