Final product formed on reduction of glycerol by hydroiodic acid is isopropyl iodide.
Explanation:
- Glycerol is trihydric alcohol which is colourles and odourless.
- Under warm condition, small amount of HI reacts with glycerol and forms allyl iodide.
- When Glycerol is heated with excess hydriodic acid, it gets reduced to allyl iodide first, then that is reduced to propene. Propene with excessive HI forms isopropyl iodide.
- The temperature for this reduction is 135 degrees C to 140 degrees C.
- This is used in determination of glycerol by Zeisel-Fanto analytical method.
