MCQ
Alkane can be iodinated in the presence of:
- AHI
- BI2 and P
- CHIO3
- DPI3
✓
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.
