1-Iodo-3,5-dimethylbenzene is a reactive chemical compound that is used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. This compound can be activated with trifluoroacetic acid to produce the corresponding iodomethyl ester. The 1-iodo-3,5-dimethylbenzene molecule has two methoxy substituents and four methyl groups. Activated 1-iodo-3,5-dimethylbenzene reacts with electrophilic halides to form the corresponding 1,2-disubstituted ethanes. The reaction mechanism involves cleavage of the c-h bond and formation of a new c-c bond. Kinetic data for this reaction was obtained using a homogeneous catalyst. A variety of methodologies have been developed to produce 1-iodo-3,5-dimethylbenzene on an industrial scale, including those that use ancillary solvents such as triflu
