Metabolite Identification
Common NameIodomethane
Descriptioniodomethane, also known as CH3I or MeI, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as halomethanes. These are organic compounds in which at least one of the four hydrogen atoms of methane (CH4) are replaced by halogen atoms. iodomethane is possibly neutral. Commercial samples may be stabilized by copper or silver wire. Unfortunately, it has a high equivalent weight: one mole of methyl iodide weighs almost three times as much as one mole of methyl chloride. For example, it can be used for the methylation of carboxylic acids or phenols:In these examples, the base (K2CO3 or Li2CO3) removes the acidic proton to form the carboxylate or phenoxide anion, which serves as the nucleophile in the SN2 substitution. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). Iodomethane is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically Iodomethane is part of the human exposome. The exposome can be defined as the collection of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. An individual's exposure begins before birth and includes insults from environmental and occupational sources.
