Refractive Index | n20/D 1.513(lit.) |
Physical and Chemical Properties | Colorless to light yellow liquid. It turned red for a long time. Melting Point -108 °c, boiling point 72 °c, relative density 1.9358(20/4 °c), refractive index 1.5133, refractive index 1.5130. Soluble in ethanol, ether, miscible with most organic solvents, slightly soluble in water and gradually decomposed. Under high heat decomposition of toxic smoke (iodide), water and steam can produce toxic and corrosive smoke. With the oxidant can occur intense reaction, the flame can burn. |
Use | Widely used as an ethylation reagent in organic synthesis and as a diagnostic aid in the pharmaceutical industry |
Risk Codes | R20 - Harmful by inhalation R36/37/38 - Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. R42/43 - May cause sensitization by inhalation and skin contact. R10 - Flammable R23/24/25 - Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. R22 - Harmful if swallowed R20/22 - Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed. |
Safety Description | S23 - Do not breathe vapour. S26 - In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. S36/37 - Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves. S45 - In case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show the label whenever possible.) S37/39 - Wear suitable gloves and eye/face protection S16 - Keep away from sources of ignition. S36/37/39 - Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection. S27 - Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. |

Use | It is used as a chemical reagent and a penetration aid for medicine (measurement of cardiac blood output). It is also used in organic synthesis and as a reagent. Goiter treatment drugs, plant growth hormone, etc. widely used as ethylation reagent in organic synthesis, as diagnostic aid in Pharmaceutical Industry used as analytical reagent, also used in organic synthesis used in medicine, organic synthesis |
production method | is derived from the reaction of ethanol with phosphorus triiodide. The industrial ethanol and red phosphorus were put into the reaction bottle, heated and refluxed on a water bath, and iodine particles were slowly added. After the addition, reflux was continued for 3H. The reaction solution was then distilled, and the yellow crude product was distilled off, washed, and dried to obtain a finished product. In addition, ethyl iodide can also be produced by the addition of ethylene to hydrogen iodide. |
