  • Applications

    Zinc iodide (CAS 10139-47-6) is primarily used as a Lewis acid catalyst and as a source of iodide in organic synthesis, enabling a range of halogenation and glycosylation reactions; it also serves as a precursor to organozinc reagents for Negishi-type cross-coupling and related C–C bond-forming processes; it functions as an intermediate in the synthesis of iodine-containing compounds used in electronics and pharmaceutical intermediates; in analytical chemistry, it is employed as a reagent for qualitative and quantitative analyses of certain metals and halides.
