Description

1-Iodo-1-Phenylethane is a versatile organic iodide compound, also known as α-iodoethylbenzene, valued for its role as a key building block in organic synthesis. Its reactive iodine atom makes it an excellent electrophile and a crucial reagent for introducing the phenylethyl moiety into more complex molecular structures. This chemical is primarily sought by research and development laboratories, pharmaceutical intermediates manufacturers, and fine chemical producers for applications in medicinal chemistry and material science.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other bioactive molecules.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Acts as an alkylating agent in C-C bond formation reactions, such as nucleophilic substitutions and cross-couplings.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the development of novel organic materials and liquid crystals.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a precursor in the creation of certain pesticides and herbicides.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A valuable tool for method development and exploratory chemistry in both university and corporate settings.

Quality Control

Our 1-Iodo-1-Phenylethane is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including purity assay and impurity profiling by GC/HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from heat and ignition sources. Due to its light-sensitive and highly volatile nature, it is recommended to store the product at 2-8°C for long-term stability. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and potential degradation.
