Magnesium iodide oxide. Another method to prepare MgI is mixing powdered elemental iodine and magnesium metal. In order to obtain anhydrous MgI, the reaction should be conducted in a strictly anhydrous atmosphere; dry-diethyl ether can be used as a solvent. Usage of magnesium iodide in the Baylis-Hillman reaction tends to give (Z)-vinyl compounds. Magnesium iodide Magnesium iodide is the name for the chemical compounds with the formulas MgI and its various hydrates MgI(HO). These salts are typical ionic halides, being highly soluble in water. Magnesium iodide has few commercial uses, but can be used to prepare compounds for organic synthesis. Magnesium iodide
