INTRODUCTION
Iodomethane-d3, also known as methyl iodide-d3, is a deuterium-enriched analogue of iodomethane, where the standard hydrogen atoms are substituted with deuterium. This isotopically labelled compound plays a crucial role in research and development, particularly in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and labelling studies.
MANUFACTURE
The process involves refluxing deuterated methanol with red phosphorus and iodine in diethyl ether, where phosphorus triiodide forms and reacts with CD3OH to produce Iodomethane-d3
