1,10-Diiododecane (Cat No.: M083947) is a linear aliphatic dihalide consisting of a 12-carbon alkane chain with iodine atoms at both terminal positions. This colorless to pale yellow liquid is used as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly for the preparation of macrocycles, polymers, and surface-modifying agents. The terminal iodide groups are highly reactive in nucleophilic substitution and cross-coupling reactions, such as the Suzuki and Heck reactions. Its flexible hydrocarbon backbone also makes it useful in materials science and supramolecular chemistry.
