Methyl 2-iodobenzoate
1. Basic Information
Name: Methyl 2-iodobenzoate
Alias: Methyl o-iodobenzoate, 2-Iodobenzoic acid methyl ester
CAS No.: 610-97-9
Molecular Formula: C8H7IO2
Molecular Weight: 262.04
Category: Aromatic iodine-containing synthetic intermediate, cross-coupling reaction substrate, fine chemical building block
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow transparent oily liquid
- Odor: Faint mild aromatic ester odor
- Solubility: Miscible with dichloromethane, toluene, xylene, ethanol, acetone, THF; insoluble in water
- Melting Point: ?35 ℃
- Boiling Point: 244–246 ℃
- Density (20℃): 1.73–1.75 g/cm3
- Refractive Index nD20: 1.598–1.602
- Flash Point: 110 ℃
- Hygroscopy: Non-hygroscopic
- Aqueous property: Neutral oily liquid, stable under neutral and weak acidic aqueous conditions, slow hydrolysis under strong acid/alkali heating
Chemical Properties
- Molecular structure: Ortho-iodine substituted methyl benzoate, contains reactive aryl iodide and methyl ester functional groups
- Cross-coupling reactivity: Aryl iodine has high activity for Suzuki, Buchwald, Heck, Sonogashira coupling to construct complex aromatic drug and material skeletons
- Ester hydrolysis: Methyl ester group hydrolyzes under acid or alkali heating to generate 2-iodobenzoic acid
- Iodine reduction: Aryl iodine can be reduced to remove iodine atom under reducing agent conditions
- Thermal stability: Stable below 200 ℃; long-time high temperature heating may cause partial deiodination and discoloration
- Photostability: Light-sensitive, UV irradiation accelerates iodine free radical release, liquid turns deep yellow-brown
- Compatibility: Compatible with anhydrous polar/non-polar organic solvents; incompatible with strong reducing agents, concentrated strong alkali, strong oxidants

Safety Warning
Low-toxic irritant iodine-containing aromatic liquid. Vapor irritates eyes, respiratory tract and skin; long-term skin contact causes mild allergic itching. All operations must be carried out in ventilated fume hood with nitrile chemical-resistant gloves and splash-proof goggles. Avoid mixing with strong reducing agents to trigger exothermic deiodination reaction and iodine vapor release. Waste liquid diluted with inert solvent before neutralization treatment; residual liquid classified as iodine-containing aromatic fine chemical hazardous waste disposed by licensed professional institutions.
