2-iodobenzoic acid and its derivatives are important pharmaceutical and chemical raw materials, which are necessary for the synthesis of various high-iodine reagents. It is commonly used as a precursor for the synthesis of 2-Iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) and Dess-Martin peridinane, which are used as mild oxidants. It is also used in Suziki reaction.
white crystal powder. Soluble in alcohol and ether, insoluble in water.
Reagent for detection of sulfhydryl groups in proteins. 2-Iodobenzoic acid acts as a precursor in the preparation of 2-Iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) and Dess-Martin periodinane, which finds application as an oxidizing agent in synthetic chemistry. It is also used in Suzuki reaction.
2-Iodobenzoic acid is obtained from Anthranilic acid by diazotization and substitution. Diazotization of Anthranilic acid with sodium nitrite in the presence of sulfuric acid, control the temperature below 10℃, filter the diazotization solution, add the mixture of potassium iodide and sulfuric acid, stir for 10min after addition, and boil. Filter, wash with sodium thiosulfate solution, 2-Iodobenzoic acid can be recrystallized from water.
2-Iodobenzoic acid can be used as a reactant in the synthesis of oligo(m-phenylene ethynylenes), (±)-lycoricidine and various detoxifiers of organophosphorus nerve agents. Additionally, it is used as a precursor in the preparation of oxidizing reagents like 2-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) and Dess-Martin periodinane (DMP).
ChEBI: An iodobenzoic acid with a single iodo substituent placed at the 2-position.
Crystallise the acid repeatedly from water and EtOH. Sublime it under vacuum at 100o. [Beilstein 9 IV 1030.]
