Ammonium iodide

Uses

Ammonium iodide is used as dietary supplement to treat iodine deficiency.

Properties and Reactions

Ammonium iodide has recently been used in many research studies and experiments.

Vinyl sulfones have been prepared using ammonium iodide,.

Organic reactions are not synthesized with organic solvents due to their increasing detrimental effects on the human body and ecosystem. Many chemists have altered organic reactions to exclude solvents in order to have successful sustainable syntheses. A report was presented on an organic synthesis for the iodination of ketones and aromatic compounds using ammonium iodide and H₂O₂ (hydrogen peroxide). This resulted in the products' high yields, which were gathered more efficiently, in a shorter duration compared to the use of the abrasive compound: molecular iodine
