MCQ

Alkane can be iodinated in the presence of:

A
HI
B
I₂ and P
C
HIO₃
D
PI₃

✓

Answer

HIO₃

Explanation:

Iodination of an alkane is carried out in the presence of oxidizing agent because one of the products of this reaction is hydrogen iodide and this is a strong reducing agent and converts alkyl iodide back to an alkane.

Therefore to counter this difficulty, the iodination of alkanes are carried out in the presence of a strong oxidizing agent like iodic acid (HIO₃) which oxidizes the hydrogen iodide formed.
