2-Bromo-5-iodothiophene is a chromophore that is used in cross-coupling reactions. It can be used to encapsulate an organic compound and protect it from light, which causes photostability and photoisomerization. This reactant also has the ability to form ligands with metals. 2-Bromo-5-iodothiophene is used in the synthesis of alkynes, halides, and terminal alkynes, as well as transition metal complexes. It can be used at high temperatures or low temperatures, depending on the desired outcome. The yield of this reaction is dependent on the type of ligand used in the synthesis. 2-Bromo-5-iodothiophene can also be synthesized photochemically or thermally.
