1-(2-Iodoethyl)-4-octylbenzene

It consists of a para-octyl–substituted benzene ring bearing a 2-iodoethyl side chain. The iodoalkyl group is a highly reactive functional handle, making the compound suitable for nucleophilic substitution, coupling reactions, and further chain functionalization, while the long octyl chain imparts hydrophobic character and influences solubility and molecular packing. 1-(2-Iodoethyl)-4-octylbenzene is an iodoalkyl-substituted aromatic hydrocarbon used as a synthetic intermediate in organic and materials chemistry.
