2-Iodo-1,3-dimethylbenzene

Description:

2-Iodo-1,3-dimethylbenzene, also known as o-iodotoluene, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of an iodine atom and two methyl groups attached to a benzene ring. The iodine substituent is located at the ortho position relative to one of the methyl groups, which influences the compound's reactivity and physical properties. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct aromatic odor. It is relatively insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. The presence of the iodine atom makes it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, the methyl groups contribute to the compound's electron-donating properties, which can affect its electrophilic substitution reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks, including potential toxicity and environmental hazards.

2-Iodo-m-xylene

CAS: 608-28-6

2-Iodo-m-xylene is a synthetic compound that can be used in the synthesis of other chemicals. It is an aromatic hydrocarbon with two isomers: ortho-iodo and para-iodo. 2-Iodo-m-xylene can be used as a photoelectron donor, which means it can provide electrons to other molecules or atoms. This chemical has been shown to cleave bonds and form new compounds when exposed to radiation or heat. The mechanism of bond cleavage is thought to involve the formation of free radicals, which are highly reactive molecules that contain an unpaired electron. 2-Iodo-m-xylene forms methylbenzenes from chlorobenzene when irradiated with light. When protonated, this molecule forms chlorobenzene and silicon tetrachloride, a volatile liquid compound.
