Description:1-Iodopentane, with the CAS number 628-17-1, is an organic compound classified as a primary alkyl halide. It consists of a five-carbon straight-chain alkane (pentane) with an iodine atom attached to the first carbon. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and has a characteristic odor. Its molecular formula is C5H11I, and it has a relatively low boiling point compared to other halogenated compounds, which is indicative of its volatility. 1-Iodopentane is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl chain. It is often used in organic synthesis as a reagent or intermediate in the preparation of other chemical compounds, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, it can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions, making it a valuable compound in synthetic organic chemistry. Safety precautions should be taken when handling 1-iodopentane, as it can be harmful if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate protective equipment should be used.
