General description

2-Iodopropane is an organ iodine compound. It is commonly used as a homolytic and heterolytic alkylating agent and in the preparation of the α-isopropoxymethylene blocking group. Additionally, it acts as an intermediator in the conversion of thiocarbonate to alkene.

Application

2-Iodopropane (Isopropyl iodide) was used to prepare butyric and isobutyric acid.

2-Iodopropane is used as an alkylating agent in the conversion of phenols, alcohols, oximes, carboxylic acids, and heteroatomic compounds (indoles, pyridines, purines, tetrazoles, pyrazoles, and amines) to give corresponding products.

The reaction of Cl atoms with iodoethane has been studied via a combination of laser flash photolysis/resonance fluorescence (LFP-RF), environmental chamber/Fourier transform (FT)IR, and quantum chemical techniques. Above 330 K, the flash photolysis data indicate that the reaction proceeds predominantly
