2-Chloro-5-iodobenzoic acid

Its reactive chlorine and iodine groups make it valuable in synthesizing new compounds for medicine, agrochemicals, and materials science. 2-Chloro-5-iodobenzoic acid (CIBA) is used mainly as a key pharmaceutical intermediate, especially for synthesizing modern anti-diabetic drugs (like SGLT2 inhibitors), but also serves as a versatile scaffold in organic chemistry for creating complex molecules, including potential anti-inflammatory agents, materials, and probes for biochemical research.
