CAS 5159-41-1: 2-Iodobenzyl alcohol

2-Iodobenzyl alcohol

O-iodobenzyl alcohol (OIB) is a nucleophile that reacts with an electron-deficient, electrophilic carbon atom to form a covalent bond. It has been shown to have the ability to reduce carbonyl groups and can be used as a bioconjugate for binding with biomolecules. OIB has also been shown to be effective in the reduction of functional groups such as hydroxyl, nitro, and amino groups. This chemical is also used in nucleophilic substitution reactions and may be used in asymmetric synthesis. The NMR spectra of OIB are characterized by the presence of two doublets at 6.6 ppm and 7.2 ppm, which correspond to the two different stereoisomers of this compound. These two isomers are distinguished by their optical rotation constants: alpha = -0.1468 (c = 1, H2O) and beta = +0.1140 (c = 1, H2

Applications 2-Iodobenzyl Alcohol (cas# 5159-41-1) is a useful research chemical.

2-Iodobenzyl alcohol was used in the synthesis of substituted seven-membered lactones, 2-[(E)-(1?-iodo-2?-propenyl)]benzyl alcohol2 and 2,3-diphenyl-1-indenone.
