About Diiodomethane, 98%

Diiodomethane is a halogenated building block carrying the CAS registry number 75-11-6, specified at 98% purity. With the molecular formula CH2I2, it has a molar mass of 267.83 g/mol. It is also known as Methylene iodide or Methane, diiodo-.

It is supplied as a clear colourless to yellow or reddish brown liquid. Reported physical data include a melting point of 5-8 °C and a density of 3.325 g/mL at 25 °C. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

It is commonly used for cross-coupling substrates, alkylation reactions, organic synthesis and analytical determinations. Typical end-use sectors are pharmaceutical manufacturing, academic and industrial research and agrochemical production.

Vaqora Chemicals supplies Diiodomethane in 100 g packs, each shipped with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), and exports worldwide.
