1,1-Diiodoethane is an organic saturated haloalkane containing iodine with formula CH3CHI2.

Preparation

[edit]

1,1-Diiodoethane can be synthesized from gem-dihaloalkanes. The starting material is 1,1-dichloroethane, and iodoethane is a source of iodine. In the presence of aluminium trichloride, 1,1-dichloroethane will converted to 1,1-diiodoethane.[3]

The preparation of 1,1-diiodoethane from gem-dihaloalkanes[3]

To be specific, mix 0.4 mol (~39.6 g) of 1,1-dichloroethane with 1.2 mol (~187 g) of ethyl iodide, and ~2.0 g of aluminium chloride. Heat for three hours using steam bath. Then, wash the mixture with H2O and NaHSO3 respectively, and dry with MgSO4. By boiling at 76-76 °C and 25 mmHg, about 67.3 g of product will be received when distilled.[4]

The alternative method, which does not require 1,1-dichloroethane, is the reaction of iodine, triethylamine and hydrazone of acetaldehyde. Using 1 mol of acetaldehyde, about 95 g, which is 34% from acetaldehyde, of 1,1-diiodoethane formed.[4]

Application

[edit]

1,1-Diiodoethane is commonly used as a reactant in reaction such as SN2. The following are some examples of SN2 reaction using 1,1-diiodoethane as a reactant.[5]

Preparation of 1-iodoethyl cyclohexanecarboxylate[5]
Preparation of 1-iodoethyl (2-methylbutyl) carbonate[5]

Moreover, is can also be used as a reactant in enolate substitution reaction as the following examples.[5]

Preparation of 3-iodo-N,N-diisopropyl-2-methylbutanamide[5]
Preparation of 3-iodo-1-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)butan-1-one[5]
