1-Iodo-3-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene（CAS# 198206-33-6) introduction
3-(Trifluoromethoxy)iodobenzene is an organic compound. It is a colorless to pale yellow solid with a strong pungent odor.
The compound decomposes in strong sunlight and needs to be stored in the dark.
One of the main uses of 3-(trifluoromethoxy)iodobenzene is as a reagent in organic synthesis. It can be used to initiate the fluorination of carbocation compounds in a reaction or as a catalyst or reagent in a reaction.
The method for preparing 3-(trifluoromethoxy)iodobenzene is usually obtained by the reaction of 2-iodobenzoic acid and 3-trifluoromethoxyphenol. During the reaction, 2-iodobenzoic acid first reacts with sodium hydroxide to form carbon dioxide and alkaline salts, and then reacts with 3-trifluoromethoxyphenol to form 3-(trifluoromethoxy)iodobenzene.
Safety Information: 3-(Trifluoromethoxy)iodobenzene is an irritating compound that may cause irritation in contact with the skin or inhalation of its vapors. Appropriate protective measures such as gloves, glasses, and protective masks need to be worn when in use. It should be stored in an airtight container away from strong light and high temperatures.
