Product Information

• Name: 4-Iodophenetole
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Iodophenetole is a chemical compound that contains two aromatic rings connected by a single bond. It is used for the synthesis of other compounds. 4-Iodophenetole can be produced by a reaction between phenol and iodomethane in trifluoroacetic acid. The reaction takes place in the presence of nitrogen atoms, which act as cavities to trap iodine molecules and prevent them from reacting with phenol. This compound has been isolated in yields of up to 99%. 4-Iodophenetole has also been used in the Suzuki coupling reaction, which involves the transfer of an organic group from one molecule to another. 4-Iodophenetole has optical properties that make it suitable for use as a stain for cells in an optical microscope. It also reacts with halides to form unsymmetrical compounds, such as 2-iodoethanol, 3-iodopropanol, and 1,4-diiodobutane
