CAS 5159-41-1

2-Iodobenzyl alcohol

Description:

2-Iodobenzyl alcohol, with the CAS number 5159-41-1, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both an iodine atom and a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a benzyl group. This compound features a benzene ring substituted with an iodine atom at the second position relative to the hydroxyl group, which is attached to a carbon chain. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a moderate boiling point and is soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the iodine atom imparts unique reactivity, making it useful in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and coupling reactions. Additionally, the hydroxyl group contributes to its potential as a reagent in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and other fine chemicals. Due to its functional groups, 2-iodobenzyl alcohol can participate in hydrogen bonding, influencing its physical properties and reactivity. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as iodine-containing compounds can be hazardous.

o-Iodobenzyl alcohol

CAS: 5159-41-1

O-iodobenzyl alcohol (OIB) is a nucleophile that reacts with an electron-deficient, electrophilic carbon atom to form a covalent bond. It has been shown to have the ability to reduce carbonyl groups and can be used as a bioconjugate for binding with biomolecules. OIB has also been shown to be effective in the reduction of functional groups such as hydroxyl, nitro, and amino groups. This chemical is also used in nucleophilic substitution reactions and may be used in asymmetric synthesis. The NMR spectra of OIB are characterized by the presence of two doublets at 6.6 ppm and 7.2 ppm, which correspond to the two different stereoisomers of this compound. These two isomers are distinguished by their optical rotation constants: alpha = -0.1468 (c = 1, H2O) and beta = +0.1140 (c = 1, H2
