3,5-Diiodosalicylic Acid

Description :

3,5-Diiodosalicylic Acid is used in wide range of medicals industrial applocations as well as in human and animal nutrition products such as antiseptics and disinfectants, pharmaceutical intermediates, polarizing films for liquid crystal display [LCD] chemicals.
Chemical Formula: C7H4I2O3
Molecular Weight: Approximately 372.91 g/mol
Appearance: Typically appears as a white to pale yellow crystalline solid
Two Iodine Atoms: Substituted at the 3- and 5-positions of the ring.
Salicylic Acid Core: Contains a carboxyl group (–COOH) and a hydroxyl group (–OH) attached to the aromatic ring.
Intermediate: Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various organic compounds. The presence of iodine atoms provides opportunities for further chemical modifications, such as in coupling reactions or nucleophilic substitutions.
Drug Development: Can be used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds. The iodine substituents can influence the biological activity of derived compounds.
Safety: Handle with care, using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Work in a well-ventilated area or fume hood to avoid inhaling any dust or vapors.
Formulation: Typically handled as a crystalline solid or in solution, depending on its intended use.
Stability: Generally stable under dry conditions. Should be stored in a cool, dry place, protected from light and moisture to prevent degradation.
