Description:4-Iodophenol, with the CAS number 540-38-5, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of phenols. It features a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a benzene ring, which is further substituted with an iodine atom at the para position relative to the hydroxyl group. This compound typically appears as a white to light yellow crystalline solid and is known for its moderate solubility in water, as well as better solubility in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. 4-Iodophenol exhibits various chemical properties, including the ability to undergo electrophilic substitution reactions due to the presence of the iodine atom, which can influence the reactivity of the aromatic ring. It is often used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, 4-iodophenol can serve as a reagent in biochemical applications, including enzyme assays and as a precursor in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks upon exposure.
