Description

3-Amino-2-Iodobenzoic Acid is a halogenated benzoic acid derivative that serves as a versatile and valuable building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its molecular structure, featuring both an amino and an iodine substituent, makes it a critical intermediate for constructing complex molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical research and development. This compound is essential for chemists and manufacturers in the life sciences, agrochemical, and material science sectors who require high-purity, functionalized aromatic intermediates for coupling reactions and heterocycle formation.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially for compounds targeting central nervous system disorders and anti-inflammatory agents.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of novel herbicides and pesticides, leveraging its halogen and amino groups for structural diversification.
• Material Science: Serves as a monomer or functionalizing agent in the production of specialty polymers and advanced organic electronic materials.
• Cross-Coupling Reactions: An excellent substrate for palladium-catalyzed reactions like Suzuki, Sonogashira, and Buchwald-Hartwig amination to create biaryl structures.
• Dye and Pigment Manufacturing: Intermediate for synthesizing complex azo dyes and iodine-containing colorants.
• Research & Development: A valuable tool compound in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies and library synthesis.

Quality Control

Our 3-Amino-2-Iodobenzoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

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 and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation.
