Because of its high activity of iodine atoms, it is easy to react with other substances by substitution, introducing butyl groups to build a variety of organic structures.
    However, this substance also has certain risks. It is flammable and can cause combustion in case of open flames and hot topics. And it is also harmful to the human body. If it comes into contact with the skin, inhales its vapor, or damages health. Therefore, when using and storing, follow safety regulations to ensure safety.
    Physical & Chemical Properties
    N-Iodobutane, also an organic compound. Its physical properties, at room temperature is colorless to light yellow liquid, with a special odor. Boiling point of about 130-131 ℃, density is greater than water, insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol, ether and other organic solvents.
    On its chemical properties, iodine atoms are active and prone to substitution reactions. In nucleophilic substitution reactions, it is often attacked by nucleophiles, and iodine ions leave to form new compounds. And under appropriate conditions, it can participate in the elimination reaction, remove hydrogen iodide, and form olefins. This is due to the characteristics of the carbon-iodine bond in its molecular structure. The polarity of the bond is large, which makes the iodine atoms easily detached, thus exhibiting rich chemical reactivity and wide use in the field of organic synthesis.
    Technical Specifications & Labeling
    N-Iodobutane is also an organic compound. The technical specifications for its preparation and product identification (commodity parameters) are crucial.

Then slowly add potassium iodide, and the temperature control is moderate during this period to prevent side reactions from occurring. In the reaction step, sulfuric acid and potassium iodide interact to release hydrogen iodide, which reacts with n-butanol and gradually produces N-Iodobutane. In the catalytic mechanism, sulfuric acid acts as a catalyst in the reaction to reduce the activation energy of the reaction and promote the reaction speed. After the reaction is completed, the pure N-Iodobutane is obtained through subsequent treatment such as distillation, separation, and drying. This is a common method for making N-Iodobutane, following this step, this product can be obtained more efficiently.

    What are the main uses of N-iodobutane?
    N-iodobutane has many uses. It can be used in the field of organic synthesis. In organic reactions, it is often used as an alkylation reagent. In its molecular structure, the iodine atom is highly active and easy to leave, so that the butyl can be transferred to other reactants, and then new carbon-carbon bonds or carbon-heteroatom bonds can be formed. This is crucial when synthesizing complex organic compounds.
    Furthermore, in some pharmaceutical chemistry studies, N-iodobutane can act as a key intermediate. By subsequent chemical reaction modification, compounds with specific pharmacological activities can be prepared, laying the foundation for the development of new drugs.
    In addition, it may also have applications in materials science. For example, in the preparation of some functional materials, N-iodobutane can participate in the reaction, giving the material unique properties, such as changing the electrical, optical or mechanical properties of the material.
    Again, in the field of organometallic chemistry, N-iodobutane can react with metal reagents to generate corresponding organometallic compounds. Such compounds often exhibit unique reactivity and selectivity in organic synthesis, and can be used to catalyze many organic reactions to improve reaction efficiency and product purity.
    In conclusion, N-iodobutane plays an indispensable role in many fields such as organic synthesis, drug development, materials science, and organometallic chemistry, and has made significant contributions to the development of related fields.
    What are the physical properties of N-iodobutane?
    N-iodine butane is an organic compound. Its physical properties can be particularly investigated. Looking at its properties, under normal temperature and pressure, it is mostly a colorless to light yellow transparent liquid with a very clear appearance. Smell it, it has a special smell, but it is difficult to describe this smell in short, and it needs to be personally felt to know the specificity of its taste.
    In terms of its density, it is heavier than water. If it is placed in a device with water, it will sink at the bottom of the water. This is because of the density. Its boiling point is also fixed, about a certain temperature range. When heated to this temperature, N-iodine butane gradually changes from liquid to gaseous state, and the gasification is considerable.
    In terms of solubility, N-iodobutane is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, due to the principle of similar miscibility. However, in water, its solubility is very small, and the two are difficult to mix. Placed in one place, it can be seen that the state of obvious stratification.
    In addition, the refractive index of N-iodobutane is also one of the important characteristics of its physical properties. The refractive angle of light passing through this substance has a specific value, which is a key indicator when identifying and studying this compound. Its physical properties under different conditions may vary slightly, but they are generally consistent with the above categories, which are indispensable information for the understanding and application of N-iodobutane.
    What are the chemical properties of N-iodobutane?
    N-iodobutane is one of the organic halogenated hydrocarbons. Its physical properties are mostly colorless to light yellow liquids at room temperature, with a special odor, insoluble in water, but soluble in many organic solvents, such as ethanol, ether, etc.
    On its chemical properties, the nucleophilic substitution reaction is the first. Because the iodine atom is a good leaving group, N-iodobutane is vulnerable to attack by nucleophiles. In case of hydroxyl negative ions (OH), nucleophilic substitution will occur, and the iodine atom will leave to form butanol; when it reacts with cyano negative ions (CN), pentanitrile will be formed. This reaction can increase the carbon chain and is of great significance in organic synthesis.
    Furthermore, elimination of the reaction is also its important property. Under the action of strong bases such as sodium ethanol, N-iodobutane can undergo elimination reaction, and the iodine atom is removed together with the hydrogen atom on the adjacent carbon atom to form butene. This reaction condition is quite critical, and different bases and reaction temperatures will affect the selectivity of the elimination product.
    In addition, N-iodobutane can also participate in metal-organic reactions. For example, when reacted with magnesium, the Grignard reagent butyl magnesium iodide can be formed. This Grignard reagent is extremely active and can be added to many carbonyl compounds to form carbon-carbon bonds, which is widely used in the synthesis of complex organic molecules.
    However, N-iodobutane also has instability. Its iodine atoms are susceptible to light, heat, etc. and undergo reactions such as decomposition. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to storage conditions and usually place them in a cool and dark place.
    What is the preparation method of N-iodobutane?
    The method of preparing N-iodobutane is obtained by co-heating butanol with potassium iodide and sulfuric acid. The details are as follows:
    First take an appropriate amount of butanol and place it in a round-bottomed flask. Butanol, a colorless liquid with a special odor, is the starting material for the reaction. Then weigh a certain amount of potassium iodide and slowly pour it into the flask. Potassium iodide is a white crystalline powder, and in this reaction, it provides iodine source. When both are put into the bottle, carefully add an appropriate amount of sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid is strong and corrosive, and should be added with caution to prevent accidents. Sulfuric acid not only acts as a catalyst in this reaction, but also prompts the reaction balance to move in the direction of generating N-iodobutane.
    The flask is properly connected to the reflux condensation device to prevent water vapor from escaping and the volatilization of the reactants. The device is established, and the flask is placed on the heating jacket to slowly heat up. During the heating process, pay close attention to the reaction phenomenon. Initially, the solution gradually changes. Due to the progress of the reaction, the substances in the bottle gradually react to produce bubbles. Under the catalysis of sulfuric acid, the hydroxyl group of butanol and the iodine ion of potassium iodide undergo a substitution reaction. The hydroxyl group is replaced by the iodine atom to produce N-iodobutane.
    After the reaction is completed, when the system is slightly cold, the reaction liquid is moved into the separation funnel. Due to the different densities of N-iodobutane and water, the organic layer containing N-iodobutane can be separated after standing and layering. Then wash it with an appropriate amount of water to remove residual im Then anhydrous calcium chloride was used to dry the organic layer to remove the residual moisture. Finally, by distillation, the fractions in the appropriate boiling point range were collected to obtain pure N-iodobutane.
    What are the precautions for N-iodobutane during storage and transportation?
    N-Iodobutane is also an organic compound. During storage and transportation, many matters must be paid attention to.
    First words storage. Because it has a certain chemical activity, it should be placed in a cool and well-ventilated place. Do not be near fire and heat sources, cover it in case of open flame, hot topic, fear of combustion or even explosion. And should be stored separately from oxidizing agents, alkalis, etc., because of its chemical properties, if they are mixed with each other, or cause severe chemical reactions, endangering safety. The storage place should be equipped with suitable materials to contain leaks, so as to prevent accidents and dispose of leaks in time to prevent their spread from causing greater harm.
    As for transportation, caution is also required. Transport vehicles should ensure good ventilation conditions to avoid direct sunlight in the compartment, causing the temperature to rise and cause danger. When loading and unloading, the operator must be light and light, and should not operate brutally to avoid package damage and N-iodobutane leakage. During transportation, pay close attention to road conditions and weather. In case of high temperature, lightning and other bad weather, the transportation should be suspended and seek safety. Containers used for transportation must be strong and well sealed, and meet relevant safety standards to prevent leakage during bumps.
    In this way, during the storage and transportation of N-iodobutane, the above items must be carefully followed to ensure safety.
