2-Ethyliodobenzene is a specialized organoiodine compound widely utilized in pharmaceutical synthesis and fine chemical manufacturing. Produced via electrophilic iodination of ethylbenzene or directed ortho-lithiation followed by quenching with iodine, it serves as a critical intermediate for cross-coupling reactions. Its molecular formula is C8H9I (CAS No. 1570-64-3).
Store under inert atmosphere at temperatures below 25°C to prevent decomposition. Handle with appropriate PPE due to potential skin irritation and environmental toxicity. Avoid exposure to light and moisture during transport and storage.
