Description

3-Iodo-o-xylene is a dehydrating agent that can be used in the manufacture of amines and sulfoxides. It can also be used for the production of halides and water vapor. 3-Iodo-o-xylene reacts with palladium compounds to form complexes that are stable at high temperatures. This compound has been shown to have both bifunctional and dehydration properties, as it can react with amines or sulfides to form an amine or sulfoxide respectively, or react with water vapor to form a hydroxyl group. 3-Iodo-o-xylene is also thermal sensitive, so it should be handled carefully when exposed to heat.
