4-(P-Iodophenyl)butyric acid (CAS 1208-59-1, C10H11IO2) is a specialized iodinated aromatic carboxylic acid produced via electrophilic iodination of phenylbutyric acid derivatives. It serves as a critical intermediate in the synthesis of radiopharmaceuticals and high-performance liquid chromatography standards.
Requires storage in sealed amber containers under inert atmosphere at -20°C to prevent photodegradation. Handling mandates full PPE including nitrile gloves due to potential skin irritation and radiochemical hazards if isotopic variants are involved.
