1-Chloro-3-iodopropane（Cat No.:R034149）is a halogenated aliphatic compound containing both chlorine and iodine atoms on a three-carbon propane backbone—chlorine at the 1-position and iodine at the 3-position. This dual-halogen functionality makes it a versatile bifunctional alkylating agent in organic synthesis. It serves as a valuable intermediate for constructing more complex molecules through substitution, elimination, or cross-coupling reactions. Its reactivity is particularly useful in the synthesis of heterocycles, pharmaceuticals, and organometallic complexes. The presence of both a good leaving group (iodine) and a moderate one (chlorine) offers sequential reactivity control in multistep processes.
