Method for producing CF3I

摘要

A method for producing trifluoroiodomethane in which a metal Mt selected from the group magnesium, zinc, cadmium, bismuth and tin is reacted in a first step (a) with a trifluorohalomethane, and the resulting reaction mixture is further reacted in a second step (b) with a component containing iodine to produce CF3I. Compounds corresponding to the formula CF3.Zn.X.nL are also described.
