Use | used as an intermediate in the synthesis of medicines, dyes and pesticides |
production method | dichloromethane and sodium iodide were mixed, stirred at room temperature, and dimethylformamide was added dropwise. After the addition, the temperature was raised until the reactant was slowly refluxed (about 71 °c) for 10 hours. The mixture was allowed to stand overnight and then subjected to steam distillation. The organic layer was separated from the distillate and washed with water. |
