Bodroux, F. published the artcileTransformation of Esters of α-Bromaliphatic Acids into the Corresponding α-Iodine Derivatives, Safety of Ethyl 2-Iodopropionate, the publication is Compt. rend. (1907), 1216-17, database is CAplus.
Ethyl α-chloracetate reacts with magnesium iodide giving ethyl iodacetate (Ibid, 140, 1597). The authors find that the α-brom substituted esters react in a smooth manner with magnesium iodide in ether giving the iodine derivatives. Experimental: Ethyl iodacetate, ICH2.CO2C2H4. b24 85-86°; d24 1.762. Ethyl α-iodpropionate, CH2.CHI.CO2C2H4, b24 85°, d17 1.662. Ethyl α-iodbutyrate, C2H5CHI.CO2C2H4, b21 100-101°; d17 1.570. The iodine-substituted esters are unstable and decompose under influence of light and heat with liberation of iodine. They volatilize at ordinary temperature
Compt. rend. published new progress about 31253-08-4. 31253-08-4 belongs to iodides-buliding-blocks, auxiliary class Iodide,Ester, name is Ethyl 2-Iodopropionate, and the molecular formula is C5H9IO2, Safety of Ethyl 2-Iodopropionate.
