2,4-difluoro-6-iodophenol; CAS No.: 551002-42-7;2,4-difluoro-6-iodophenol. PROPERTIES: 2,4-difluoro-6-iodophenol is a multiply halogenated phenolic compound with molecular formula C6H3F2IO. It generally exists as a pale yellow crystalline solid with a melting point of approximately 42-45 C. The compound has limited water solubility but dissolves in organic solvents like acetone or ethyl acetate. It exhibits moderate thermal stability but may decompose when exposed to high temperatures, releasing toxic iodine vapors. Proper storage involves keeping it in tightly sealed containers at temperatures below 20 C, protected from light and moisture. APPLICATIONS: In organic synthesis, 2,4-difluoro-6-iodophenol acts as a versatile starting material for preparing iodinated aromatic compounds, particularly useful in Suzuki-Miyaura and Heck coupling reactions to form biaryl structures (Tetrahedron Letters). Its fluorine and iodine substituents provide dual functionality: the iodine enables cross-coupling while the fluorines influence electronic properties, making it valuable in developing agrochemicals with improved herbicidal activity (Pest Management Science). The phenolic hydroxyl group allows for further functionalization, enabling the creation of complex molecules for material applications such as liquid crystals or nonlinear optical materials (Journal of Materials Chemistry).
