1-Chloro-3-iodopropane undergoes asymmetric α-alkylation with N-sulfinyl imidates to yield 2-substituted N-tert-butanesulfinyl-5-chloropentanimidates. Electroreduction of 1-chloro-3-iodopropane at glassy carbon electrode in dimethylformamide containing tetra-n-butylammonium perchlorate has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry. It also participates in conjugate addition of alkyl iodides to α,β-unsaturated nitriles in water.
