Description:1-Iodohexane, with the CAS number 638-45-9, is an organic compound classified as a haloalkane. It consists of a six-carbon straight-chain alkane (hexane) with an iodine atom attached to the first carbon. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and has a characteristic odor. 1-Iodohexane is relatively non-polar, making it soluble in organic solvents but only sparingly soluble in water. Its molecular formula is C6H13I, and it has a higher boiling point compared to its non-iodinated counterparts due to the presence of the heavier iodine atom. 1-Iodohexane is used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of other organic compounds through nucleophilic substitution reactions. It can also serve as a reagent in various chemical reactions, including those involving the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. However, it should be handled with care due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this compound in laboratory settings.
