By means of magnesium iodide in ethereal solution, ethyl bromacetate is converted into ethyl iodoacetate, b25 85-6°, d24=1.702. Ethyl a-iodopropionate, C5H9O2I, liquid, slightly colored, irritating odor, b38 85°, b765 181-3° with partial decomposition, d17=1.662. Ethyl a-iodobutyrate, C6H11O2I, colorless liquid, odor like pippin apples, b. 195-8° with partial decomposition, d17=1.570.
