Description

5-Cyano-2-Iodobenzoic Acid is a versatile and high-purity iodinated benzoic acid derivative, serving as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its molecular structure, featuring both a cyano and an iodo functional group, makes it an exceptionally valuable intermediate for constructing complex molecules. This compound is primarily sought after by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies engaged in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), agrochemicals, and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly in cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Suzuki, Sonogashira) to create biaryl structures.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the development of new herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators that require halogenated aromatic cores.
• Ligand and Catalyst Synthesis: Serves as a starting material for creating specialized ligands used in transition metal catalysis and coordination chemistry.
• Material Science: Building block for organic electronic materials, such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and semiconductors, where its halogen and nitrile groups enable further functionalization.
• Chemical Biology: Useful for synthesizing probes and tags for bioconjugation and labeling studies due to the reactivity of the iodine atom.
• Custom Synthesis & Contract Manufacturing: An essential raw material for fine chemical manufacturers offering bespoke synthesis services to the life sciences industry.

Quality Control

Every batch of 5-Cyano-2-Iodobenzoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems and undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency and high purity. Our standard grade meets specifications suitable for research and industrial synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA), detailing results from HPLC, NMR, and other relevant tests, is provided with each shipment to guarantee product identity, purity, and compliance with your requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept sealed and under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage to maintain stability and purity.
