5-iodo-2,4-dimethylbenzoic acid

Description:
5-Iodo-2,4-dimethylbenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of an iodine atom and two methyl groups on a benzoic acid framework. The iodine substituent is located at the 5-position, while the methyl groups are positioned at the 2 and 4-positions of the benzene ring. This compound typically exhibits a white to off-white crystalline appearance and is soluble in organic solvents, with limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and amidation. Additionally, the iodine atom can enhance the compound's reactivity in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Its unique structure makes it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as halogenated compounds can pose health risks.
