Iodobenzene（Cat No.:R025084）is an aromatic halide with the chemical formula C6H5I, consisting of a benzene ring bonded to an iodine atom. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is widely used as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis. Iodobenzene is particularly valuable in metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions such as the Suzuki, Heck, and Sonogashira reactions, facilitating the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. Due to the reactivity of the carbon-iodine bond, it serves as a key building block in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and various fine chemicals.
