The synthesis method of 4-iodobenzoyl chloride has been known in ancient times, and is now detailed by you.
First, 4-iodobenzoic acid is reacted with thionyl chloride. The two are mixed, heated in a suitable container, and gradually react. The thionyl chloride is also an active chlorination reagent. It interacts with 4-iodobenzoic acid, and the hydroxyl group of the carboxyl group is replaced by the chlorine atom. 4-iodobenzoyl chloride is produced, and sulfur dioxide and hydrogen chloride gas escape at the same time. This reaction condition is relatively mild, easy to control, and the yield is quite good. The reaction formula is roughly as follows: 4-iodobenzoic acid + thionyl chloride → 4-iodobenzoyl chloride + sulfur dioxide ↑ + hydrogen chloride ↑. After the reaction, the unreacted thionyl chloride and by-products are removed by distillation to obtain pure 4-iodobenzoyl chloride.
Second, 4-iodotoluene is used as the starting material. First, 4-iodotoluene is reacted with chlorine gas in the presence of light or initiator to obtain 4-iodobenzyl chloride. Then, 4-iodobenzyl chloride is oxidized to 4-iodobenzoic acid by a suitable oxidizing agent, such as potassium permanganate, etc., and then reacted with thionyl chloride as before to obtain 4-iodobenzoyl chloride. Although this path is slightly complicated, the raw materials used are more common.
There are also those who use 4-iodoaniline as a starting material. First, 4-iodoaniline is diazotized to obtain a diazo salt, and then the diazo group is converted into a carboxyl group in a suitable method to obtain 4-iodobenzoic acid, and then reacts with thionyl chloride to obtain 4-iodobenzoyl chloride. This method of synthesis has its own advantages and disadvantages, depending on the actual situation, such as the availability of raw materials, cost, and purity of the desired product.

4-Iodobenzoyl chloride is an important reagent in organic synthesis. Its physical properties are quite unique and are closely related to many reactions. The following is a detailed description of you.
Looking at its appearance, 4-iodobenzoyl chloride usually appears as a colorless to light yellow liquid. Under sunlight, it can be seen that it is clear and slightly pigmented, like a mysterious liquid flow. This substance has a pungent smell, which smells like a sharp sensation reaching the nasal cavity, alerting the intensity of its chemical activity.
When it comes to the melting point, the melting point of 4-iodobenzoyl chloride is about -1 ° C, and the boiling point is between 259 and 261 ° C. Such characteristics of melting and boiling point make it stable in liquid form at room temperature. When the temperature gradually rises and reaches near the boiling point, it will rise into a gaseous state. At low temperatures, when approaching the melting point, there is a tendency to solidify into a solid state.
4-iodobenzoyl chloride has a density of about 1.82 g/cm ³, which is heavier than water. If it is placed in the same place as water, it will be like a sunken stone entering the water and sinking directly. And it is difficult to dissolve in water, the two are like people on a distinct road, and it is difficult to blend. However, in the world of organic solvents, it is like a duck to water, easily soluble in common organic solvents such as ether, chloroform, and dichloromethane. In the embrace of these solvents, 4-iodobenzoyl chloride can better perform its role in organic synthesis reactions.
This substance is highly volatile and will slowly escape into the air in an open environment. And it is sensitive to air and moisture, and is prone to reaction in case of exposure. If accidentally exposed to the air for too long, its chemical properties may change quietly, affecting the subsequent use effect. Therefore, when storing, it should be properly sealed and avoided in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place to prevent deterioration.

4-Iodobenzoyl chloride is a chemical substance. When storing and transporting, many things must be paid attention to.
Bear the brunt, the storage environment is extremely critical. It should be placed in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. Because the substance is sensitive to temperature and humidity, high temperature and humidity can easily cause it to deteriorate. If it is in a high temperature environment, it may cause chemical reactions to change its properties; if it is in a humid environment, it may hydrolyze and reduce its purity.
Furthermore, it is necessary to keep away from fires and heat sources. Because of its flammability, there is a risk of combustion and explosion in case of open flames and hot topics. In warehouses, smoking and open flames are strictly prohibited, and electrical equipment must also meet fire and explosion protection requirements.
When storing, it should also be stored separately from oxidants, alkalis, etc., and must not be mixed. 4-Iodobenzoyl chloride is in contact with oxidants or reacts violently; when it encounters alkalis, it is also prone to chemical reactions and damage to substances.
Packaging must be sealed. Good sealed packaging can prevent it from volatilizing, avoid contact with air and moisture, and ensure quality. Packaging materials must also meet relevant standards, be strong and durable to prevent damage and leakage.
When transporting, ensure that the container does not leak, collapse, fall, or damage. Transportation vehicles should be equipped with corresponding varieties and quantities of fire equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment. Summer transportation should be carried out in the morning and evening to avoid high temperature periods. During transportation, it should be protected from sun exposure, rain exposure and high temperature.
When loading and unloading, it should be handled lightly to avoid brutal operation. Due to damage to the packaging, substances may leak or cause danger. Operators should also wear appropriate protective equipment, such as protective clothing, gloves, goggles, etc., to prevent contact injuries.

4-Iodobenzoyl chloride, this material has all kinds of safety risks. It is highly corrosive and touches the skin. If it is burned, it will cause redness, swelling, blisters, ulceration, damage to the eyes, or even blindness. When using it, it is necessary to strictly protect the skin and eyes. Wear protective clothing, protective goggles and gloves.
Its volatilized gas is pungent and toxic, inhalation hurts the respiratory tract, causing cough, asthma, breathing difficulties, or even pulmonary edema. It is suitable for use in well-ventilated places, with effective ventilation equipment and respiratory protective equipment.
It is flammable, flammable in case of open flame and hot topic, and easy to explode when mixed with oxidants. Keep away from fire sources, heat sources and oxidants when stored. Store in a cool, dry and ventilated warehouse and properly manage according to the regulations of chemical dangerous goods.
