CAS 166386-60-3: 3-Chloro-4-iodobenzenemethanol

Description: 3-Chloro-4-iodobenzenemethanol, with the CAS number 166386-60-3, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both chlorine and iodine substituents on a benzene ring, along with a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) attached to the aromatic system. This compound typically appears as a solid or liquid, depending on the specific conditions, and is known for its potential applications in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry. The presence of halogens (chlorine and iodine) can influence its reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The hydroxymethyl group contributes to its solubility in polar solvents and can participate in further chemical reactions, such as oxidation or substitution. Additionally, the compound's structure suggests it may exhibit interesting biological activities, although specific studies would be required to elucidate its pharmacological properties. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as halogenated compounds can pose health risks.
