Iodobenzene dichloride (PhICl2) is a complex of iodobenzene with chlorine. As a reagent for organic chemistry, it is used as an oxidant and chlorinating agent.
Chemical structure
Single-crystal X-ray crystallography has been used to determine its structure; as can be predicted by VSEPR theory, it adopts a T-shaped geometry about the central iodine atom.[2]
Preparation
Iodobenzene dichloride is not stable and is not commonly available commercially. It is prepared by passing chlorine gas through a solution of iodobenzene in chloroform, from which it precipitates.[3] The same reaction has been reported at pilot plant scale (20 kg) as well.[4]
- Ph-I + Cl2 → PhICl2
An alternate preparation involving the use of chlorine generated in situ by the action of sodium hypochlorite on hydrochloric acid has also been described.[5]
Reactions
Iodobenzene dichloride is hydrolyzed by basic solutions to give iodosobenzene (PhIO)[6] and is oxidized by sodium hypochlorite to give iodoxybenzene (PhIO2).[7]
In organic synthesis, iodobenzene dichloride is used as a reagent for the selective chlorination of alkenes.[1] and alkynes.[8]
