4-Iodobenzoic acid was used in the synthesis of [hydroxy(4-carboxyphenyl)iodonium]ion in situ that helps in the cleavage of a variety of alkenes. It is is used as anti-infective, contraceptive agent and x-ray contrast medium for diagnostic radiology.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
