1-Iodohexane is a chemical compound from the group of aliphatic saturated halogenated hydrocarbons. The chemical formula is CH3(CH2)5I.[2][3] It is a colorless liquid.

Synthesis

[edit]

1-Iodohexane can be obtained by treating 1-bromohexane with potassium iodide.[4]

The compound can also be prepared by treating 1-hexanol with iodine and triphenylphosphine.[5]

Physical properties

[edit]

1-Iodohexane is a flammable, difficult to ignite, light-sensitive liquid that is practically insoluble in water.[6] Copper is usually added to the compound as a stabilizer.[7]

Uses

[edit]

The compound is used as an alkylating agent in organic synthesis.[8] Also, it is used as an intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds such as tetradecane.
