(2-Butylbenzofuran-3-yl) (4-hydroxy-3,5-diiodophenyl) ketone

The presence of two iodine atoms significantly increases molecular weight and polarizability, while the phenolic –OH group provides a reactive hydrogen-bond donor site. This compound features a benzofuran core substituted with a butyl chain at the 2-position, enhancing hydrophobic character, and a 4-hydroxy-3,5-diiodophenyl moiety connected through a ketone (carbonyl) linkage.
