Description:1,10-Diiododecane is an organic compound characterized by a straight-chain alkane structure with two iodine atoms attached to the first and tenth carbon atoms of a twelve-carbon chain. Its molecular formula is C12H24I2, indicating the presence of two iodine substituents that significantly influence its chemical properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is insoluble in water due to its hydrophobic alkane backbone, but it is soluble in organic solvents. The presence of iodine atoms imparts notable reactivity, making it useful in various chemical synthesis applications, including as a reagent in organic chemistry. Additionally, 1,10-diiododecane can exhibit interesting physical properties such as a relatively high boiling point compared to non-iodinated alkanes of similar chain length. Its iodine content also makes it a candidate for applications in medicinal chemistry and materials science, particularly in the development of iodinated compounds for imaging or therapeutic purposes. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound due to the potential hazards associated with iodine and organic halides.
