CAS 624-73-7: 1,2-Diiodoethane

1,2-Diiodoethane is a reactive aliphatic hydrocarbon that inhibits the reaction of fatty acids with iron and carbon disulphide. It has been shown to decrease the formation of unsaturated fatty acids and carbon disulphide by reacting with the alkanoic acid. 1,2-Diiodoethane also reacts with monocarboxylic acid, forming an intermediate that can be reduced by iron to form an unsaturated alkyl. This reaction proceeds through a series of chain reactions in which each reactant is successively reduced until the final products are formed. These products include malonic acid and an unsaturated alkyl.

1,2-Diiodoethane is used as C-X bond formation reagent. It is also used as Pharmaceutical intermediates. 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.

1,2-Diiodoethane is a useful building block that can be used as a reaction component in organic synthesis. It is also used as a reagent and can be used to produce high quality research chemicals.
