Product Description:

1-Bromo-2-iodobenzene is a bifunctional aromatic building block featuring both bromine and iodine substituents in an ortho relationship. The iodine atom is significantly more reactive than bromine in oxidative addition reactions, enabling selective cross-coupling transformations such as Sonogashira, Suzuki-Miyaura, or Buchwald-Hartwig reactions at the iodine site while leaving the bromine intact for subsequent functionalization. This ortho-dihalobenzene is widely employed in the synthesis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, heterocycles, and ligands for metal complexes. It is also utilized as a precursor in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and advanced materials, particularly where sequential or orthogonal coupling strategies are required. The compound is typically a colorless to light yellow liquid, sensitive to light, and should be stored under inert atmosphere to prevent decomposition.
