General description

Hydriodic acid, a strong acid, is hydrogen iodide gas dissolved in water.

Application

Hydriodic acid was used for derivatization of urine samples by iodination to detect aromatic amines using multi-dimensional gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCxGC-qMS).
It may be used in the following processes:
  • Deiodination process during the synthesis of partially fluorinated pyridinium bromides.
  • As a reducing agent for oxidized graphene nanoribbons (OGN).
  • In combination with red phosphorus to reduce pseudoephedrine in the synthesis of methamphetamine.

Melanocytes produce two chemically distinct types of melanin pigments, eumelanins and pheomelanins. These pigments can be quantitatively analyzed by acidic KMnO4 oxidation or reductive hydrolysis with hydriodic acid (HI) to form pyrrole-2,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (PTCA) or aminohydroxyphenylalanine (AHP), respectively.
