Fluoroiodomethane is the halomethane with the formula FCH2I. Also classified as a fluoroiodocarbon (FIC), it is a colorless liquid. It is a reagent for the introduction of the fluoromethyl (FCH2) group.

Synthesis and uses

It is prepared by fluorination of methylene iodide.[1]

Its isotopomer [18F]fluoroiodomethane is used for fluoromethylation of radiopharmaceuticals.
