General description
Hydriodic acid (HI) along with red phosphorus (HI/red P) plays the role of a reducing agent for the preparation of methamphetamine. HI/Phosphorous causes the reduction of various polycyclic quinones. HI also participates as a reducing agent for the conversion of various polyarene quinones, hydroquinones and phenols to the corresponding aromatic hydrocarbons.
Hydriodic acid is hydrogen iodide gas dissolved in water. It is a strong acid generally used as a reducing agent.
Application
Hydriodic acid may be used in the synthesis of trideuterio-[13C]-methyl iodide and [13C]-methyl iodide.

Melanocytes produce two chemically distinct types of melanin pigments, eumelanins and pheomelanins. These pigments can be quantitatively analyzed by acidic KMnO4 oxidation or reductive hydrolysis with hydriodic acid (HI) to form pyrrole-2,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (PTCA) or aminohydroxyphenylalanine (AHP), respectively.
