Product Information

• Name: 5-Iodopentanenitrile
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5-Iodopentanenitrile is a reactive chemical that can be used to produce organic compounds. This compound is an intermediate in the production of 5-iodo-1,3-dihydrobenzofuran and 5-iodoquinoline. It is also used for the production of pharmaceutical intermediates such as fluoroquinolones and alkylating agents. The mechanism of this chemical's reactivity has been studied extensively, which led to the discovery that it reacts by nucleophilic addition at electron deficient carbonyls groups. These reactions are known as Grignard reactions or halolactonizations. This chemical has also been shown to be reactive with biomolecules, such as DNA and RNA, and can bind to their sugar residues.
