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.
