This chemical substance has a molecular weight of 314.12 g/mol and contains both acetate ester groups and an iodine atom in its structure. It is classified as a moderately hazardous substance with acute toxicity properties and potential environmental concerns for aquatic systems.

[2-(acetyloxymethyl)-4-iodobutyl] acetate is an organic compound containing iodine with a molecular weight of 314.12 g/mol. Due to its acetate ester groups, it likely exhibits moderate polarity and may have limited water solubility. The presence of the iodine atom contributes to its higher molecular weight and potentially influences its physical properties such as density and volatility. Specific data on appearance, odor, and exact solubility parameters would require experimental determination.

[2-(acetyloxymethyl)-4-iodobutyl] acetate is primarily used as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. Its unique structure containing both acetate groups and iodine makes it valuable for specialized chemical transformations and as a building block in the development of more complex molecules. The compound may also find applications in materials science research and specialized industrial processes requiring organoiodine compounds.

[2-(acetyloxymethyl)-4-iodobutyl] acetate must be handled with appropriate personal protective equipment including chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing. Work should be conducted in well-ventilated areas or under fume hoods due to its acute toxicity classification (Acute Tox. 4). Avoid skin and eye contact, inhalation, and ingestion. Use proper laboratory techniques and ensure personnel are trained in chemical safety procedures before handling this substance.

[2-(acetyloxymethyl)-4-iodobutyl] acetate should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent contamination and moisture absorption. Store separately from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers and reducing agents. The storage area should be equipped with appropriate spill containment measures and restricted to authorized personnel only. Maintain proper inventory records and regular inspection schedules.

In case of skin contact with [2-(acetyloxymethyl)-4-iodobutyl] acetate, immediately remove contaminated clothing and wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. If eye contact occurs, rinse immediately with clean water for 15-20 minutes and seek medical attention. In case of inhalation, move to fresh air immediately. If ingested, do not induce vomiting and seek immediate medical attention. Always consult the safety data sheet for complete emergency procedures.

[2-(acetyloxymethyl)-4-iodobutyl] acetate must be disposed of according to local, national, and international waste regulations as it contains iodine and has environmental hazard classifications. The substance should be collected by licensed waste disposal companies specializing in hazardous chemical waste. Do not discharge into drains, waterways, or soil due to its Aquatic Chronic 2 classification. Containers should be triple-rinsed and disposed of according to local regulations for hazardous waste containers.

[2-(acetyloxymethyl)-4-iodobutyl] acetate is classified under ADR Class 9 (Miscellaneous dangerous substances), Packing Group III for transportation purposes. This classification requires appropriate packaging, labeling, and documentation according to dangerous goods regulations. Shipments must comply with ADR/RID regulations for road and rail transport, and IMDG/IATA codes for sea and air transport respectively. Proper shipping papers and emergency response information must accompany all shipments.
