Okay, that settles it.

Thank you David and Pat for sharing the knowledge and wisdom.

Kind regards,
Vijay

I second the mythical conclusion. We also tried to make it and failed 10-15 yrs ago (we came up with the di-iodo compound, if I recall). Many of these organomercurials are really tough to handle; I suspect that even if we had succeeded in making the desired compound, it would have been as soluble as a stone.

Hi Vijay,

Not an answer to your question, but I tried and failed to source any
about 10 years ago. I had a chemist friend try to make some following
the a protocol we found on the web - which didn't work.

The consensus on the ccp4bb back then was that it was a bit of
mythical beast, and I never progressed beyond this.

We made some Iodo-phenylglyoxal though... never got it to work (as a
derivative) in action.

Cheers,

Dave
