Description:1-Iodoheptane is an organic compound classified as a haloalkane, specifically an alkyl iodide. It consists of a seven-carbon straight-chain alkane (heptane) with an iodine atom substituted at the first carbon position. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and has a characteristic odor. Its molecular formula is C7H15I, and it has a relatively high molecular weight due to the presence of the iodine atom. 1-Iodoheptane is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various organic synthesis applications. It can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions, where the iodine atom can be replaced by other nucleophiles. Additionally, it has applications in the synthesis of other organic compounds and can serve as a reagent in chemical reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling 1-iodoheptane, as it can be harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin, and proper storage conditions should be maintained to prevent degradation.
