      Prep of NaI  Bookmark   

Hey,

Vanillin can be iodinated in an aqueous solution of sodium triiodide (NaI3.NaI), made in situ from sodium iodide and iodine, forming 5-iodovanillin. - quote from iodovanillin.htm

So i`ve got almost everything for this reaction,the only problem is how to prepare NaI ?

As what is written there, there is an option of using chlorine and NaCl
but i dont wanna have "good" time with Cl when i can spare it with I :)
Any ideas?
BTW, i searched Hive - nothing found....
Thanks.crazy

NaI is sold in pure form at chem stores.  It is also sold as in Horse SHops for hoofing.

It is also in Iodized salt, although only in small amounts.

NaI is soluble in acetone, whereas NaCl is not...
