Dichlorofluoroiodomethane is atetrahalomethane with the chemical formulaCCl2FI.[1] This is a halomethane containing two chlorine atoms, one fluorine atom, and one iodine atom attached to the methane backbone.[2][3]
Dichlorofluoroiodomethane can be obtained by brominatingdichlorofluoromethane to form bromodichlorofluoromethane, followed by halogen exchange withsodium iodide inacetone; or by reacting tris(dimethylamino)(dichlorofluoromethyl)iodonium chloride with iodine oriodine monochloride.[4]
Dichlorofluoroiodomethane is unstable at room temperature and readily releases iodine.[5]
