2-Chloro-4-iodo-1-methylbenzene, also known as 2-chloro-4-iodotoluene, is an aromatic halogenated compound characterized by the presence of both chlorine and iodine substituents on a methylbenzene (toluene) ring. The chlorine atom is located at the ortho position (2-position) and the iodine atom at the para position (4-position) relative to the methyl group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature and purity. It is known for its moderate to low solubility in water but is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. The presence of halogens in its structure contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical synthesis processes, including the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, its unique substitution pattern can influence its physical properties, such as boiling and melting points, as well as its reactivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound due to the potential hazards associated with halogenated organic compounds.

2-Chloro-4-iodotoluene is a compound that belongs to the group of antibacterial agents. It has been shown to be effective against dermatological infections, such as acne and rosacea, and cutaneous diseases, such as eczema. 2-Chloro-4-iodotoluene inhibits bacterial growth by binding to DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, which are enzymes that maintain the integrity of bacterial DNA. It also inhibits the production of prostaglandins (PGE2) in human skin cells, which may have anti-inflammatory effects. This compound is not active against acid-fast bacteria (e.g., Mycobacterium tuberculosis or Mycobacterium avium complex).
