Iodomethane (Methyl Iodide) is a high-purity alkyl halide widely used as a powerful methylating agent in organic synthesis. With the chemical formula CH₃I and CAS No. 74-88-4, it plays a critical role in pharmaceutical intermediates, agrochemical production, and research laboratories. Its strong reactivity enables efficient methyl group transfer in diverse chemical reactions. Due to its volatility and sensitivity to light, it must be stored and handled under controlled conditions for safety and stability.
