Product Overview
Isopropyl iodide, also known as 2-iodopropane, is a high-purity solvent widely used in organic chemistry for its reactivity and efficiency. With a 99% purity grade, this compound ensures reliable results in laboratory applications, particularly in halogenation and nucleophilic substitution reactions. Its low moisture content and stable formulation make it a preferred choice for precise experimental conditions. The liquid form allows for easy handling and accurate measurement, reducing the risk of contamination. Whether used as a reagent or intermediate, isopropyl iodide maintains consistency in performance, supporting reproducible outcomes in research settings. Its compatibility with various organic solvents further enhances its versatility in synthetic procedures. Proper storage in a cool, dry place ensures long-term stability and effectiveness.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of isopropyl iodide?
When stored in a tightly sealed container away from light and moisture, isopropyl iodide typically retains its purity for up to 2 years.
2. Can isopropyl iodide be used with glassware?
Yes, it is compatible with standard borosilicate glassware, but prolonged exposure may require inert conditions to prevent degradation.
3. Are there safer alternatives to isopropyl iodide for similar applications?
Alternatives like isopropyl bromide or chloride may be used, though they differ in reactivity and boiling points.
4. How should spills of isopropyl iodide be handled?
Absorb with inert material (e.g., sand) and dispose of as hazardous waste; avoid direct contact and ensure ventilation.
5. Does isopropyl iodide require special disposal methods?
Yes, it should be disposed of as halogenated organic waste according to local environmental regulations.
