:4-iodo-2-methylphenol
Description:
4-Iodo-2-methylphenol, with the CAS number 60577-30-2, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of phenols. It features a phenolic ring substituted with an iodine atom at the para position and a methyl group at the ortho position relative to the hydroxyl group. This compound typically appears as a solid and is characterized by its distinctive odor. It is known for its antimicrobial properties, making it useful in various applications, including as a preservative and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. The presence of the iodine atom enhances its reactivity, allowing for further chemical modifications. Additionally, 4-iodo-2-methylphenol is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic ring. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled, and appropriate personal protective equipment should be used.

4-Iodo-2-methylphenol
CAS:<p>4-Iodo-2-methylphenol is an antiobesity drug that is a synthetic derivative of 4-iodoaniline. It has been shown to bind to the receptor y181c, which is found on the surface of fat cells. The ligand, which is a specific chemical structure that binds to this receptor, may be able to block the uptake of lipids by fat cells, thereby reducing body weight and cholesterol levels. 4-Iodo-2-methylphenol also has sulfide groups that make it more soluble in water than other similar drugs. This makes it more easily absorbed into the bloodstream and may allow for lower doses. 4-Iodo-2-methylphenol also has an affinity for naphthalene, which may be useful in removing toxic chemicals from the environment.</p>Formula:C7H7IOPurity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:PowderMolecular weight:234.03 g/mol
