2'-Iodo-m-terphenyl is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of Grignard reagents. It is used in cross-coupling reactions, which are chemical reactions between a nucleophile (a substance that donates an electron pair) and an electrophile (a substance that has an electron pair available to form a covalent bond with the nucleophile). 2'-Iodo-m-terphenyl can be used for the synthesis of other chemicals and pharmaceuticals using cross-coupling reactions. It is selective for aromatic halides due to its ability to maintain the aromaticity of these molecules during coupling. The low yields of this reaction are due to the fact that 2'-iodo-m-terphenyl reacts with both Grignard reagents and iodides, which leads to competition between these two reactants.
