bromoiodomethane
Sign in to saveBromoiodomethane is a halomethane with the formula BrCH2I. It is a colorless liquid, although older samples appear yellow. The compound has been investigated as a reagent for cyclopropanation by the Simmons-Smith reaction, but diiodomethane and chloroiodomethane are preferred. It also occurs naturally as the result of microbial action.
