Description:1,4-Diiodo-2,5-dimethylbenzene, also known as p-diiodo-o-xylene, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of two iodine atoms and two methyl groups attached to a benzene ring. Its molecular structure features a symmetrical arrangement with iodine substituents at the para positions (1 and 4) and methyl groups at the ortho positions (2 and 5). This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and exhibits a relatively high molecular weight due to the presence of heavy iodine atoms. It is insoluble in water but may dissolve in organic solvents. The presence of iodine atoms imparts notable reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses, particularly in the field of organic chemistry for the preparation of iodinated compounds. Additionally, the methyl groups contribute to the compound's hydrophobic characteristics and influence its physical properties, such as melting and boiling points. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as iodine can be hazardous, and proper storage conditions are necessary to maintain its stability.
