2-Iodonaphthalene (Cat No.: M177328) is an organic compound consisting of a naphthalene ring substituted with an iodine atom at the 2-position. It is a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki, Heck, and Sonogashira couplings. The iodine substituent provides excellent leaving group ability, enabling efficient formation of C–C and C–N bonds. 2-Iodonaphthalene is commonly used in the development of pharmaceuticals, dyes, and functional organic materials, especially those requiring extended aromatic systems or naphthyl-based structures.
