Chlorotriiodomethane is atetrahalomethane with the chemical formulaCClI3.[1][2] This is a halomethane containing one iodine atom and three chlorine atoms attached to the methane backbone.[3]
Chlorination ofiodoform leads to chlorotriiodomethane.[4]
It can also be obtained by distillingtrichloroacetyl chloride and hydrogen iodide at 140 °C, withhexachloroethane as a byproduct.Trichloromethane orcarbon tetrachloride can also be reacted with iodine andsodium hydroxide at 0 °C to obtain the compound, but the yield is very low.[5]
