Description

5-Iodo-1-Pentanol is a versatile halogenated alcohol building block, essential for advanced organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. Its molecular structure, featuring a terminal iodo group and a primary alcohol, makes it a critical intermediate for constructing complex molecules through nucleophilic substitution and coupling reactions. This compound is particularly valuable for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science industries seeking to develop novel active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially in the development of antiviral and anticancer agents.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of advanced pesticides and herbicides, where the iodine atom facilitates further functionalization.
• Material Science: Serves as a precursor for liquid crystals, polymers, and other specialty materials requiring halogenated alkyl chains.
• Cross-Coupling Reactions: An important substrate in palladium-catalyzed reactions like Suzuki, Heck, and Sonogashira couplings for carbon-carbon bond formation.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Utilized in nucleophilic substitution reactions to introduce pentyl alcohol chains into target molecules.
• Bioconjugation & Labeling: Potential use in modifying biomolecules or creating fluorescent probes and other diagnostic tools.

Quality Control

Our 5-Iodo-1-Pentanol is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC/GC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to verify identity and purity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with customer specifications and industry standards.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
