Iofina specializes in producing secondary alkyl iodides that serve as essential building blocks for pharmaceutical development and complex organic synthesis. As a 2-iodobutane supplier, we provide the stabilization measures and analytical documentation you need to achieve consistent results in demanding multistep reaction sequences.
2-Iodobutane, also called sec-butyl iodide and identified by CAS #: 513-48-4, is a colorless to pale yellow liquid derived from butane through halogen substitution. The iodine atom attaches to the secondary carbon position to create a sterically accessible reactive site that participates readily in displacement reactions.
This compound exhibits flammability and degrades when exposed to light, so proper formulation often includes stabilizing additives with small amounts of copper to prevent decomposition during storage. Manufacturers typically package this material in opaque containers and recommend refrigerated storage to maximize shelf stability.
Medicinal chemists and synthetic organic researchers employ this reagent in diverse applications, including:
Our experts manufacture iodine-based intermediates, halogenated reagents and specialty organic compounds for the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. We distinguish ourselves through:
Our team has experience supporting various operations, from drug discovery and process chemistry optimization to commercial pharmaceutical manufacturing. We can provide stability testing data and impurity profiles to support your needs.
