CAS 16355-92-3: 1,10-Diiododecane

1,10-Diiododecane is used as an alkylating agent in the synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical bis-cryptophanes and as a crosslinking reagent for tetrabutylammonium polygalacturonic acid. it is also used to produce decane at temperature of 20°C. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

1,10-Diiododecane

1,10-Diiododecane is a chemical crosslinking agent that reacts with hydroxyl groups to form ether linkages. It has been shown to be effective in vitro and in vivo for treating hemicyanine-induced pulmonary fibrosis. 1,10-Diiododecane has also been used as a quaternization agent and as a monolayer on polymer films. The redox potential of the diiododecane molecule is high enough for it to react with electrophilic reagents such as hydrochloric acid. This property makes 1,10-diiododecane an excellent candidate for use as a crosslinking agent in polymer films.

1,10-Diiododecane: Crosslinks polygalacturonic acid, alkylates bis-cryptophanes, produces decane at 20°C.
