Description:1-Chloro-6-iodohexane is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both chlorine and iodine substituents on a hexane backbone. Specifically, it features a chlorine atom at the first carbon position and an iodine atom at the sixth carbon position of the hexane chain. This compound is classified as a haloalkane, which are known for their reactivity due to the presence of halogen atoms. The molecular structure contributes to its physical properties, such as being a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a relatively low boiling point compared to other organic compounds of similar size. It is typically insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, which is common for haloalkanes. The presence of both halogens can influence its reactivity, making it a potential intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as both chlorine and iodine are hazardous substances.
