General description

2-Iodobenzoic acid is a halogen substituted carboxylic acid.

Application

2-Iodobenzoic acid may be used for the following studies:
  • One-pot synthesis of hypervalent iodine reagent in the presence of trichloroisocyanuric acid (oxidant). This reagent is employed for the electrophilic trifluoromethylation reactions.
  • Synthesis of 1-arylbenziodoxolones.
  • Synthesis of isocoumarin.
  • Preparation of 2-iodoxybenzoic acid, using oxone (2KHSO5-KHSO4-K2SO4).

Various 1-arylbenziodoxolones can be conveniently prepared from 2-iodobenzoic acid and arenes by a one-pot procedure using Oxone (2KHSO5·KHSO4·K2SO4) as an inexpensive and environmentally safe oxidant. This procedure is also applicable for the synthesis of the 7-methylbenziodoxolone ring system using 2-iodo-3-methylbenzoic

Homogeneous liver pyruvate kinase was reacted with different sulfhydryl reagents, which included o-iodosobenzoate, 5',5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) and N-ethylmaleimide. Activity determinations of the treated enzyme made with and without Fru(1,6)P2 indicate that the protein contains two sulfhydryl groups per subunit important to
