    Product Description:
    2-Iodoacetophenone is an organic compound featuring an acetyl group and an iodine atom on the benzene ring. It is a pale yellow to yellow crystalline solid with a molecular formula of C8H7IO. This compound is a versatile halogenated aromatic ketone. Its primary role is as a key organic synthetic building block and a halogenation reagent. The iodine atom is a good leaving group, making it a useful precursor in various cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki and Heck couplings, to construct more complex molecules. It is also employed in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds and as an intermediate in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Handling requires caution as it is a lachrymator (tear gas agent) and can cause severe irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory system. Appropriate personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation are essential during its use in laboratory or industrial settings.
