2-IODOBENZALDEHYDE

white to light beige low melting crystalline

2-Iodobenzaldehyde may be used as a reactant in the synthesis of the following heterocycles:

• 2,3-diaryl-1-indenones
• indolo[1,2-a]quinazolines
• Baylis-Hillman (BH) adducts

It may also be used in preparing:

• 5-phenylindazolo[3,2-b]quinazolin-7(5H)-one
• 4-(3-iodophenyl)-2,2:6,2-terpyridine
• fluoren-9-one
• 2-formyl-3′-methoxybiphenyl

2-Iodo-benzaldehyde is a very useful synthetic intermediate. It is halogenated Benzaldehyde (B119740) which is mainly used as a precursor to other organic compounds, such as pharmaceuticals, and plastic additives.

2-Iodobenzaldehyde (o-iodobenzaldehyde) is a 2-halobenzaldehyde derivative. Its crystals belong to the orthorhombic crystal system and P2₁2₁2₁ space group.
