2-Iodobenzonitrile is a nitrile compound. Nitrile compounds are one of the most important organic synthesis intermediates in organic synthetic chemistry and are widely used in pesticides, pharmaceuticals, dyes and other fine chemicals. Moreover, because o-iodobenzonitrile compounds contain both cyano and aryl carbon-iodide bonds, and both of them are in the adjacent position of benzene ring, 2-iodobenzonitrile can have excellent reactivity when used as intermediates.
