This seems quite dangerous, as phosphorous is dangerously explosive. Perhaps someone should verify this. I've heard that you can just reflux iodine and ethanol, without the phosphorous. 74.166.85.40 ( talk) —Preceding comment was added at 23:31, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
There are no citations for almost the entire written body of the article. Claims that Ethyl iodide will degrade after a year of good storage are questionable I'd say. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.222.40.30 ( talk) 17:05, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
This whole article reads as though it were written by a first year undergrad. Also, YES PHOSPHORUS! Conversion of alcohols to alkyl halides with phosphorus (phosphorus trihalide intermediate) is a classical reaction that has been well-documented for over a hundred years. Refluxing alcohol in iodine will give you dissolved iodine.
