Decamethylene Diiodide is an organic halide compound with the chemical formula C₁₀H₂₀I₂. It’s a colorless to pale yellow liquid, but can also be a low-melting solid at room temperature. This compound is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, such as ethers, alcohols and chlorinated solvents.
Like many halogenated organic compounds, Decamethylene Diiodide can be sensitive to light, heat and oxidizing agents. To prevent degradation, it’s stored in a well-sealed container. This compound is also known as 1,10-diiododecane and its CAS number is 16355-92-3.
Decamethylene Diiodide supports multiple industrial processes when sourced from a trustworthy supplier. The molecular structure of 1,10-diiododecane, a 10-carbon chain with an iodine atom at each end, makes it an ideal building block or linker in chemical synthesis. Its applications include:
Decamethylene Diiodide serves as a cross-linking agent or monomer in the synthesis of advanced polymers. Its terminal iodides provide reactive sites for polymerization.
It can be used as a starting material for creating large, macrocyclic compounds (heterocycles). These are foundational structures in key areas such as medicinal chemistry and host-guest chemistry.
This compound can also serve as a high-quality alkylating agent for introducing a C10 chain into a molecule. It plays a pivotal role in the synthesis of a wide range of specialty organic compounds.
A successful synthesis depends on the purity of the reagents.
