Description

2-Iodo-2-Cyclohexen-1-One is a versatile and reactive halogenated cyclic enone building block, essential for advanced organic synthesis. Its unique structure, featuring both an electrophilic carbonyl and a vinyl iodide moiety, makes it a critical intermediate for constructing complex molecular frameworks. This compound is primarily sought after by research chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries for applications in cross-coupling reactions and heterocyclic chemistry.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for compounds containing functionalized cyclohexane rings.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of novel herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides that require halogenated cyclic ketone structures.
• Cross-Coupling Reactions: Serves as an excellent substrate for palladium-catalyzed reactions like Suzuki, Stille, and Sonogashira couplings to form carbon-carbon bonds.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the development of organic electronic materials and liquid crystals due to its polarizable iodine atom and conjugated system.
• Academic & R&D Laboratories: A valuable reagent for methodological studies in organic chemistry and for creating specialized chemical libraries.
• Fine Chemical Production: Used in the multi-step synthesis of complex fragrances, flavors, and dyes.

Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Iodo-2-Cyclohexen-1-One is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the product meets the high-purity standards required for sensitive synthetic applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is supplied with each shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and reducing agents.
