2-Iodo-5-methylthiophene is a specialized heterocyclic intermediate synthesized via electrophilic iodination of 5-methylthiophene. Its molecular formula is C5H5IS and CAS number is 10467-98-2. This high-purity reagent serves as a critical building block for cross-coupling reactions in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Store under inert atmosphere at temperatures below -20°C to prevent degradation. Strictly avoid exposure to light and moisture. Personnel must utilize appropriate PPE due to potential toxicity and skin irritation risks associated with organoiodine compounds.
