1,10-Diiododecane has been used as:
- an alkylating agent in the synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical bis-cryptophanes
- crosslinking reagent for tetrabutylammonium polygalacturonic acid
1,10-Diiododecane is used as an alkylating agent in the synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical bis-cryptophanes and as a crosslinking reagent for tetrabutylammonium polygalacturonic acid. it is also used to produce decane at temperature of 20°C.
Electrochemical reduction of 1,10-diiododecane at Hg cathode in dimethylformamide containing tetramethylammonium perchlorate has been investigated.
