1,5-Diiodopentane（Cat No.:R070490）is a linear dihalogenated alkane with the molecular formula C5H10I2, featuring iodine atoms at both terminal carbons of a five-carbon chain. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid, commonly used as a versatile building block in organic synthesis. Its bifunctional nature allows it to serve as a linker or spacer in the formation of macrocycles, polymers, and other complex molecules. The reactive carbon–iodine bonds enable nucleophilic substitution and cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, making it valuable in pharmaceutical, materials, and supramolecular chemistry research.
