3-Chloroiodobenzene

1-Chloro-3-iodobenzene is a chemical compound that is used in the synthesis of ceramics. It is a colorless solid with a melting point of 337℃ and has a molecular weight of 160.161 g/mol. 1-Chloro-3-iodobenzene can be synthesized by reacting zinc powder with ethylmagnesium chloride in the presence of an aluminium catalyst. This reaction produces 1-chloro-3-iodobenzene, which can then be reacted with carbonyl chloride to produce aminocarbonylation products. The chemical compound was first synthesized by Grignard reagents, which are organometallic compounds containing a carbon atom bonded to a magnesium ion. Kinetic studies have shown that 1-chloro-3-iodobenzene reacts with hydroxide ions to form fluorescent products, although it is not reactive towards water or ammonia.

1-Chloro-3-iodobenzene is used as a pharmaceutical intermediate. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio.
