Hypoiodous acid, HOI, is an oxoacid of iodine. It is often considered to be only stable in aqueous solution.[2][3]

Preparation

Hypoiodous acid can be prepared in solution by the reaction of iodine with a well-stirred suspension of mercury(II) oxide.[2]

2 I2 + 2 HgO + H2O → 2 HOI + HgO·HgI2

It is also formed by the disproportionation of iodine in water, although the equilibrium concentration is only 6.4 × 10−6 mol dm−3 in a saturated iodine solution (1.3 mmol dm−3) at 25 °C.[2]

I2 + H2O HOI + H+ + I

A convenient method to prepare HOI for use in organic synthesis is the reaction of sodium hypochlorite with sodium iodide:[4]

ClO + I + H2O → HOI + Cl + OH

Hypoiodous acid is prepared in the gas phase or in matrix isolation studies by the reaction of hydroxyl radicals or atomic oxygen with iodine or iodoalkanes.[5][6][7]
