2-Iodobenzyl chloride

Description:

2-Iodobenzyl chloride, with the CAS number 59473-45-9, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both an iodine atom and a chlorine atom attached to a benzyl group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its reactivity due to the presence of the halogen substituents. It is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane and ether but has limited solubility in water. The compound is primarily used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, owing to its ability to participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, 2-iodobenzyl chloride can serve as a building block for more complex molecules in chemical research. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it can be harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin, and proper storage conditions should be maintained to prevent degradation.

2-Iodobenzyl chloride is a reactive compound that is used in the synthesis of organic molecules. It reacts with amines to form 2-iodobenzamide, which is an antihistaminic drug. 2-Iodobenzyl chloride can be used to synthesize a variety of compounds, including benzamides, phenols, and other aromatic compounds. The addition of 2-iodobenzyl chloride to dibutyltin oxide creates an organotin halide, which then reacts with chlorides and produces cross-coupling products. This reaction is stereoselective because the two iodines are not exchanged in the same reaction.
