Iodide

Wherein x represents an anion, with a catalytic amount of a ruthenium tetraoxide oxidant prepared in situ from soluble, low valent ruthenium species with a stoichiometric amount of a suitable co-oxidant capable of oxidizing ruthenium from a III or IV to VIII oxidation state, selected from the group consisting of sodium periodate, sodium hypochorite and tertiary butyl hypochlorite.

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of trimethylsulfoxonium salts. Trimethylsulfoxonium salts have a number of uses within the chemical industry, and are particularly useful when utilized as the trimethylsulfoxonium salt of N-phosphonomethylglycine which is an effective herbicide.

Iodine pentoxide is the chemical compound with the formula I₂O₅. This iodine oxide is the anhydride of iodic acid. It is produced by dehydrating iodic acid at 200 °C in a stream of dry air_[1]

Iodoacetic acid and its salts and derivatives. Iodoacetic acid reacts with cysteine (-SH) groups to form a carboxymethylated protein and is used as an enzyme inhibitor in biochemical research.

Iodobenzene is an organic compound consisting of a benzene ring substitituted with one iodine atom. It is useful as a synthetic intermediate in organic chemistry. Since the C-I bond is weaker than C-Br or C-Cl, it is more reactive than bromobenzene or chlorobenzene.
