Description:1,8-Diiodooctane is an organic compound characterized by its linear alkane structure with two iodine atoms attached to the first and eighth carbon atoms of an octane chain. Its molecular formula is C8H16I2, indicating the presence of eight carbon atoms, sixteen hydrogen atoms, and two iodine atoms. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is known for its relatively high density and viscosity compared to non-iodinated hydrocarbons. 1,8-Diiodooctane is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkane backbone. The presence of iodine atoms imparts unique properties, such as increased molecular weight and potential applications in organic synthesis, particularly in the field of medicinal chemistry and materials science. Additionally, the compound may exhibit interesting reactivity due to the presence of the iodine substituents, which can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as iodine can be hazardous in certain concentrations.
