Product Information

• Name: 2-Iodobenzoic acid methyl ester
• Synonyms: Methyl 2-iodobenzoate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Iodobenzoic acid methyl ester is a palladium complex that can be used as a catalyst for the hydrolysis of ketoesters, imines, and halides. The reaction mechanism involves the coordination of the metal center to the carboxylate or amine group on the substrate, followed by a nucleophilic attack at the benzoate or chloride group. The resulting product is an alkyl halide. 2-Iodobenzoic acid methyl ester has been shown to catalyze the cross-coupling of diphenyl ethers with various amines in water and in organic solvents.
