ethyl 5-iodo-2-methyl-benzoate

Description:
Ethyl 5-iodo-2-methylbenzoate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is derived from benzoic acid and ethanol. It features a benzene ring substituted with a methyl group and an iodine atom at the 2 and 5 positions, respectively. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a distinct aromatic odor. Its molecular structure contributes to its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions due to the presence of the iodine atom, which is a good leaving group. Ethyl 5-iodo-2-methylbenzoate is often used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of more complex molecules. It is important to handle this compound with care, as iodine can pose health risks, and proper safety protocols should be followed. Additionally, its solubility characteristics may vary, but it is generally soluble in organic solvents while being less soluble in water.
