Usage

General Description

1,4-Diiodo-2,5-dimethylbenzene is a chemical compound which belongs to the family of aromatic homomonocyclic compounds. The aromaticity shows in the benzene ring, a hexagon of carbon atoms, to which four iodine atoms and five methyl groups are attached. Its IUPAC name is 2,5-Dimethyl-1,4-diiodobenzene. 1,4-DIIODO-2,5-DIMETHYLBENZENE primarily involves halogen derivative substituents and is often utilized in organometallic chemistry and other organic syntheses. The existence of iodine atoms makes this compound suitable for various reactions, as they can be easily substituted, making it an important synthetic tool. It is characterized by a high molecular weight and a relatively high melting point. Its specific properties, uses, and toxicity levels might vary and should be handled with care, as should all chemicals.

R4NHal/NOHSO4: A Usable System for Halogenation of Isoxazoles, Pyrazoles, and beyond

A new convenient and versatile halogenating system (R4NHal/NOHSO4), giving straightforward and general access to halogenated 3,5-diaryl- and alkylarylisoxazoles, pyrazoles and electron-rich benzenes from the corresponding scaffolds, is suggested. The method provides excellent regioselectivity, scalability to the gram scale, and a broad scope for both aromatics and halogens. A three-step, one-pot reaction protocol was developed, and a series of 3,5-diaryl-4-haloisoxazoles has been efficiently synthesized from 1,2-diarylcyclopropanes under suggested nitrosating-halogenating conditions.

Metal-Free, Oxidant-Free, and Controllable Graphene Oxide Catalyzed Direct Iodination of Arenes and Ketones

A direct, metal-free, and oxidant-free method for the graphene oxide (GO)-catalyzed iodination of arenes and ketones with iodine in a neutral medium was explored. This iodination protocol was performed by using a simple technique to avoid the use of external metal catalysts and oxidants and harsh acidic/basic reaction conditions. In addition, by this method the degree of iodination could be controlled, and the reaction was scalable and compatible with air. This strategy opens a new field for GO-catalyzed chemistry and provides an avenue for the convenient direct iodination of arenes and ketones.
