What are the physical properties of 1- (bromomethyl) -4-iodobenzene?
1 - (bromomethyl) - 4 - iodobenzene is an organic compound. Its physical properties are particularly important, related to its performance in various chemical reactions and practical applications.
First of all, its appearance, under room temperature and pressure, is mostly white to light yellow crystalline powder, fine texture, this appearance is easy to identify during operation and observation.
As for the melting point, it is between 64 and 68 ° C. The melting point is the critical temperature at which the substance changes from solid to liquid. This specific melting point indicates that when the ambient temperature rises to this range, 1- (bromomethyl) -4-iodobenzene will gradually melt from the solid state to the liquid state. This property is quite useful in the purification and identification of this compound.
Solubility is also one of its important physical properties. This compound is insoluble in water. Due to its molecular structure, both bromomethyl and iodophenyl groups have strong hydrophobicity, and the interaction with water molecules is weak. However, it is soluble in common organic solvents, such as dichloromethane, chloroform, ether, etc. In dichloromethane, it can be miscible in any ratio to form a uniform solution. This solubility characteristic makes it possible to choose a suitable organic solvent according to the needs of the reaction in the organic synthesis reaction to create a good reaction environment and promote the reaction.
In addition, the density of 1- (bromomethyl) -4-iodobenzene cannot be ignored. Its density is greater than that of water, about 2.22 g/cm ³. This property is very critical in the operation of liquid-liquid separation. If it is placed in a container with water, it will sink at the bottom due to its high density, which is easy to separate and purify.
Because the molecule contains halogen atoms such as bromine and iodine, the halogen atoms have high electronegativity, resulting in a certain polarity of the molecule. Although this polarity does not make it soluble in water, it affects the interaction between it and other polar molecules. In some chemical reactions, it can participate in the reaction as an active check point, affecting the process of the reaction and the generation of products.
What are the chemical synthesis methods of 1- (bromomethyl) -4-iodobenzene?
1 - (bromomethyl) -4 -iodobenzene is also an organic compound. There are many methods for its synthesis.
One can be started from p-iodotoluene. Shilling p-iodotoluene and N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), with benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as initiator, are heated and refluxed in carbon tetrachloride (CCl) solvent. This reaction follows a free radical substitution mechanism. NBS provides bromine radicals, which capture hydrogen atoms on p-iodotoluene methyl to generate 1 - (bromomethyl) -4 -iodobenzene. In this process, the dosage of NBS, reaction temperature and time are all key factors. If the amount of NBS used is small, the reaction is incomplete; if the temperature is too high or the time is too long, there is a risk of excessive bromination.
Second, 4-iodobenzoic acid is used as the raw material. First, 4-iodobenzoic acid is reduced to 4-iodobenzyl alcohol. Commonly used reducing agents such as sodium borohydride (NaBH) or lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH). Taking sodium borohydride as an example, in a suitable solvent such as methanol or ethanol, 4-iodobenzoic acid reacts with sodium borohydride to reduce the carboxyl group to a hydroxyl group. Then, 4-iodobenzyl alcohol reacts with hydrobromic acid (HBr), and the hydroxyl group is replaced by a bromine atom to obtain 1- (bromomethyl) -4-iodobenzene In this route, the reduction step needs to pay attention to the selection and dosage of the reducing agent, and the subsequent halogenation reaction conditions also need to be precisely controlled.
Third, start from 4-iodobenzaldehyde. First, 4-iodobenzaldehyde is reduced to 4-iodobenzyl alcohol, and then reacted with hydrobromic acid as above to obtain the target product. Or 4-iodobenzaldehyde is reacted with phosphorus tribromide (PBr), the aldehyde group is first reduced to a hydroxyl group, and then the hydroxyl group is replaced by a bromine atom to directly generate 1- (bromomethyl) -4-iodobenzene. In this process, phosphorus tribromide has high reactivity, so it is necessary to pay attention to the mildness of the reaction conditions to avoid side reactions.
All synthesis methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. It is necessary to choose carefully according to factors such as the availability of raw materials, cost, and difficulty of reaction conditions.
