About: Methiodide

An Entity of Type: Chemical114806838, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In organic chemistry, a methiodide is a chemical derivative produced by the reaction of a compound with methyl iodide. Methiodides are often formed through the methylation of tertiary amines: R3N + CH3I → (CH3)R3N+I− Whereas the parent amines are hydrophobic and often oily, methiodides, being salts, are somewhat hydrophilic and exhibit high melting points. Methiodides exhibit altered pharmacological properties as well. Examples include: Tertiary phosphines and phosphite esters also form methiodides.

  • In organic chemistry, a methiodide is a chemical derivative produced by the reaction of a compound with methyl iodide. Methiodides are often formed through the methylation of tertiary amines: R3N + CH3I → (CH3)R3N+I− Whereas the parent amines are hydrophobic and often oily, methiodides, being salts, are somewhat hydrophilic and exhibit high melting points. Methiodides exhibit altered pharmacological properties as well. Examples include: * Cocaine methiodide, a charged cocaine analog which cannot pass the blood brain barrier and enter the brain * Bicuculline methiodide, a water-soluble form of bicuculline Tertiary phosphines and phosphite esters also form methiodides.
