Product Information

• Name: 2-Iodocumene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Iodocumene is a chemical that belongs to the group of unsymmetrical carbonyl compounds. It is an intermediate in the synthesis of saccharin and other organic chemicals, as well as in the production of pharmaceuticals. 2-Iodocumene can be used as a ligand in metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions between organometallic reagents and various types of electrophiles. This compound has been shown to react with iron at room temperature to form an active catalyst for the regioselective cleavage of C-C bonds. The mechanistic studies have revealed that 2-iodocumene acts as an electron acceptor and a nucleophile, which allows it to act as a bifunctional catalyst during these reactions. The reaction rate depends on steric hindrance, which may be due to the presence of carbonyl groups or cyclic structures. The mechanism is supported by computational studies using density functional
