AC-29957 - n-iodosuccinimide-98 | 516-12-1

<p>N-Iodosuccinimide is used in the preparation of vinyl sulfones from olefins and benzenesulfinic acid. It acts as a source for I+ and involved in Hunsdiecker reactions for the conversion of cinnamic acids, and propiolic acids to the corresponding alfa-halostyrenes and 1-halo-1-alkynes respectively.</p>

N-Iodosuccinimide

<p>N-Iodosuccinimide is a reagent that is used in the synthesis of monoclonal antibodies. It reacts with the amino groups of proteins to form stable complexes that are soluble in organic solvents. N-Iodosuccinimide can also be used for the treatment of tumors by reacting with DNA to form cross-links and inhibiting tumor cell growth. N-Iodosuccinimide reacts with methyl ketones to form mixtures of stable complexes, which are useful for the synthesis of polymers and polyesters. This reaction mechanism is a variation on the Suzuki coupling reaction and has been shown to be effective for cervical cancer cells in culture.</p>
