2-Chloro-1-iodo-4-methylbenzene, also known as 4-methyl-2-chloro-1-iodobenzene, is an aromatic halogenated compound characterized by the presence of both chlorine and iodine substituents on a methylbenzene (toluene) ring. The chlorine atom is located at the ortho position relative to the methyl group, while the iodine atom is at the meta position. This compound typically exhibits a non-polar character due to its aromatic structure, which can influence its solubility in organic solvents. Its molecular structure contributes to its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, where the halogen atoms can serve as leaving groups. The presence of both halogens can also affect the compound's physical properties, such as boiling and melting points, compared to other methyl-substituted benzenes. Additionally, 2-chloro-1-iodo-4-methylbenzene may have applications in organic synthesis and materials science, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as halogenated aromatic compounds can pose health risks.

3-Chloro-4-iodotoluene

3-Chloro-4-iodotoluene is a cyclic compound that has been shown to inhibit the activity of HIV-1. It is selective for the HIV transcriptases and has a high potency. 3-Chloro-4-iodotoluene binds to the pyrazolyl group in RNA and inhibits transcription by binding to the cyclic tetraazole ring of the enzyme, preventing the conformational change required for transcription. This agent is not acyclic but is still active as an inhibitor of transcriptases.
