1,2-Diiodoethene

CAS: 590-27-2

1,2-Diiodoethene is a molecule with two functional groups that can be used for catalysis. The reaction scheme shows that the stereocontrol of this molecule is controlled by the type of substituents on the carbon atoms. This molecule has been shown to be synthesized in cross-coupling reactions and as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical drugs. It also has been used as a precursor for other molecules with different functional groups. 1,2-Diiodoethene can react with fatty acids to form esters or with fatty acid anhydrides to form amides. This molecule also has been shown to have frequencies that are similar to those of fatty acids, which may account for its ability to form esters and amides.
