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.

Glycerol is converted to a mixture of butyric and isobutyric acid by rhodium- or iridium-catalysed carbonylation using HI as the co-catalyst. The initial reaction of glycerol with HI results in several intermediates that lead to isopropyl iodide, which upon carbonylation

An alternative liquid chromatographic (LC) method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of methoxyl and 2-hydroxypropoxyl substituents in hypromellose and hypromellose acetate succinate. The method uses the hydriodic acid cleavage reaction, catalyzed by adipic acid, of the substituted
