General description

Thermal chemistry of 1-iodobutane has been investigated on clean and hydrogen- and deuterium-predosed Pt(111) single-crystal surfaces by temperature-programmed desorption and reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy.

1-Iodobutane is an alkyl halide and is used as an electrophile during SN2 nucleophilic reaction.

Application

1-Iodobutane was used in the synthesis of:
  • S-alkylated 5-(2-,3- and 4-methoxyphenyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol
  • 5-(2-,3- and 4-methoxyphenyl)-4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol
  • N-butyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide by reaction with 1-methylpyrrolidine in ethyl acetate
