Ammonium iodide by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. This inorganic compound is the iodide salt of ammonium. This reagent is available as a white crystalline powder which is soluble in water and ethanol. It has a melting point of 551 C at which it sublimes. Ammonium iodide can be prepared by reacting hydroiodic acid with ammonia. On exposure to moist air, it gradually turns yellow in colour with decomposition, liberating iodine.

Ammonium iodide has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This compound is used in photographic chemicals and in some medications. It has been studied in the cyanation protocol of aryl boronic acids, boronates and borate salts. It has a dual role in this protocol to provide iodide and nitrogen atom of the cyano moiety. Ammonium iodide is further researched in the synthesis of vinyl methyl sulfones, and as an iodine source in the iodination of aromatic compounds. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
