Description:2-Iodobenzaldehyde, with the CAS number 26260-02-6, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of aromatic aldehydes. It features a benzene ring substituted with an iodine atom at the second position and an aldehyde group (-CHO) at the first position. This compound is typically a pale yellow to brown liquid with a characteristic aromatic odor. It is known for its reactivity due to the presence of both the electrophilic aldehyde group and the halogen substituent, which can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and coupling reactions. 2-Iodobenzaldehyde is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. It is used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. Additionally, the iodine atom can serve as a useful handle for further functionalization, making it a valuable intermediate in synthetic chemistry. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
