Hydriodic acid is used to convert primary alcohol into alkyl iodide. It is used in organic and inorganic synthesis as one of the primary sources of iodine as well as a reducing agent. It is also used to cleave the ethers to get alkyl iodides and alcohols.
In organic chemistry, it is used as catalyst for the conversion of primary alcohol to alkyl halide. Suitable for use in methoxyl determinations. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio.
