Isobutyl Iodide

Iofina produces isobutyl iodide for various pharmaceutical and chemical processes. A synthetic building block, isobutyl iodide is valuable for multiple industries and uses. At Iofina, we explore and produce quality iodine to keep your business productive. 

What Is Isobutyl Iodide?

Isobutyl iodide, identifiable by CAS Number 513-38-2, is colorless and discolors in air to a light orange. As a flammable liquid, it should be handled with caution when near flames, heat or sparks. It may also irritate the skin and eyes and be mildly toxic when inhaled. It has a low flash point of 30 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Isobutyl Iodide Applications

Isobutyl iodide, or 513-38-2, is mainly used as a solvent but has various other applications. It is denser than water and incompatible with reducing and potent oxidizing agents and other compounds. Some of its key applications include:

  • Pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals: Isobutyl iodide is used to prepare some of these compounds.
  • Organic solvent: It is used as a solvent, dissolving diethyl ether, chloroform, acetone, alcohols and more. It also dissolves hydrophobic materials like waxes, resins and oils.
  • Analytical reagent: Isobutyl iodide can be used to prepare organic molecules when introducing isobutyl groups, serving as a key reagent in organic synthesis.

About Iofina

Iofina continues to extract quality chlorides, iodides and fluorides so businesses can continue to do more. Whether you need iodine or other halogen-based chemical derivatives, we support our customers with strong sourcing methods and an innovative production process.

Here are more ways we invest in our customers: 

  • Global customer service: We support businesses worldwide. Wherever you are, Iofina can provide you with the isobutyl iodide you need, ship it and deliver excellent customer service and support. 
  • Quality materials: We continuously research and develop new iodide, fluoride and chloride compounds. Iofina is the leader in iodine technology and uses extensive resources to extract and produce clean iodine responsibly.
  • Eco-friendly extraction: Our team takes environmental concerns as seriously as you do. Instead of using drills or explosives, we partner with oil companies that already have open mines. We separate the oil and water within those mines and extract the iodine from the water. Once we have the iodine, we return the water to the well.
