Chloroiodomethane is a mixed liquid halomethane very soluble in acetone, benzene, diethyl ether, and alcohol. Its chemical formula is CH
2ClI. Its refractive index is 1.5812 - 1.5832.

It crystallizes orthorhombic crystal system with space group Pnma with lattice constants: a = 6.383, b = 6.706, c = 8.867 (.10−1 nm).

Chloroiodomethane is used in cyclopropanation (Simmon-Smith reaction), Mannich reaction, aminomethylation, epoxidation, ring opening and addition to terminal alkenes. It often replaces diiodomethane because of higher yields and selectivity. Also, chloroiodomethane is used as an intermediate substance in pharmaceuticals, organic synthesis, agrochemicals, and dyestuff.
