4-iodo-2,6-dimethylphenol

Description:

4-Iodo-2,6-dimethylphenol is an organic compound characterized by its phenolic structure, which includes a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a benzene ring. The presence of iodine at the para position (4-position) and two methyl groups at the ortho positions (2 and 6 positions) contributes to its unique chemical properties. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic methyl groups. The iodine substituent can influence the compound's reactivity, making it useful in various chemical reactions, including electrophilic aromatic substitution. Additionally, the presence of the hydroxyl group imparts some degree of acidity, allowing it to participate in acid-base reactions. 4-Iodo-2,6-dimethylphenol may also exhibit antimicrobial properties, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and agricultural applications. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.

2,6-Dimethyl-4-iodophenol is a small organic molecule that has been shown to be an inhibitor of the virus SARS coronavirus. 2,6-Dimethyl-4-iodophenol inhibits the virus in a specific test for inhibition activity against SARS coronavirus. The compound binds to the viral membrane and blocks a hydrogen bonding interaction with the viral envelope protein. This binding prevents the formation of an active complex with the enzyme RNA polymerase, which is required for transcription of viral RNA. 2,6-Dimethyl-4-iodophenol has also been shown to inhibit other viruses in addition to SARS coronavirus, such as influenza A virus and poliovirus.
