Phenethyl iodide

Description:
Phenethyl iodide, with the CAS number 17376-04-4, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which consists of a phenethyl group (C6H5-CH2-CH2-) bonded to an iodine atom. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its moderate volatility and distinct aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ether and chloroform but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Phenethyl iodide is primarily used as an alkylating agent in organic synthesis, facilitating the introduction of the phenethyl group into various substrates. Its reactivity is attributed to the presence of the iodine atom, which can undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it may pose health risks upon exposure, including irritation to the skin and respiratory system. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with phenethyl iodide in laboratory settings.
