Iodobenzene Diacetate

Iodobenzene diacetate is a white to off-white crystalline solid at room temperature, typically odorless and non-volatile, with a melting point of approximately 160–163 °C. It is classified as a hypervalent iodine compound and an aromatic organoiodine reagent. Primarily employed as a selective oxidizing and electrophilic iodinating agent, it serves as a key synthetic intermediate in fine chemical manufacturing. Its main applications are in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, where it facilitates C–O, C–N, and C–C bond-forming reactions—particularly in the preparation of heterocycles, lactones, and functionalized aromatics. It is also used in the synthesis of specialty dyes and advanced organic materials requiring controlled oxidative transformations.

(Diacetoxyiodo)benzene is a hypervalent iodine reagent that is used in conjunction with catalytic amount of sodium azide in acetonitrile, which enables oxidative decarboxylation of 2-aryl carboxylic acid into the corresponding aldehydes, ketones and nitriles.
