2-Iodopropane | CAS#: 75-30-9 | Isopropyl Iodide

What Is 2-Iodopropane?

2-Iodopropane, also known as isopropyl iodide and designated CAS #: 75-30-9, is a colorless and flammable liquid that emits a sweet, ether-like odor. The material’s structure features an iodine atom bonded to the secondary carbon of a propane chain, which creates a reactive site for nucleophilic substitution reactions.

Exposure to light and air can cause the liquid to develop a light yellow or brown coloration over time. To preserve the product’s integrity during storage and handling, manufacturers typically include stabilizing agents. Proper containment in amber bottles and inert atmospheres helps maintain the compound’s quality characteristics.

Applications of 2-Iodopropane

Synthetic chemists across multiple industries incorporate this reagent into their workflows, including:

Alkylation reactions: The compound serves as an isopropylating agent that introduces three-carbon branched groups onto nitrogen and oxygen nucleophiles, including amines and alcohols, through substitution mechanisms.

Pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis: Drug developers and crop protection companies use this agrochemical intermediate to construct active ingredients and key precursors where the isopropyl group often contributes to desired biological activity profiles.

Specialized solvent applications: Certain organic preparations benefit from this liquid’s solvent properties when specific polarity and reactivity characteristics are needed for reaction optimization.

About Iofina

Our company specializes in manufacturing iodine-based reagents, halogenated building blocks and tailored chemical products for global industries. We offer:

Responsible resource recovery: Instead of conventional mining operations, we extract iodine from brine water circulating through active oil wells, and this approach turns waste streams into commercial products while supporting existing energy infrastructures.

Consistent product performance: Our in-house manufacturing allows us to control critical quality factors at every step, from raw iodine to finished compounds and quality checks before shipment.

Responsive technical assistance: When you encounter formulation challenges or need guidance on storage conditions, our chemists collaborate with your team to troubleshoot issues and recommend best practices based on decades of halogen chemistry experience.
