Overview

(4-cyano-2,6-diiodophenyl) octanoate (CAS 3861-47-0) is an organoiodine compound with significant toxicity hazards and environmental concerns requiring specialized handling protocols. This highly specialized chemical compound belongs to the family of substituted phenyl esters, characterized by its unique molecular structure containing two iodine atoms, a cyano group, and an octanoate ester chain. With a molecular weight of 497.11 g/mol and formula C15H17I2NO2, this substance presents multiple classification hazards including reproductive toxicity (Category 2), acute toxicity (Category 3), eye irritation, skin sensitization, and severe aquatic toxicity. The presence of multiple iodine substituents significantly influences both its chemical reactivity and biological activity profile. The compound's hazard classification necessitates extreme caution during handling, storage, and transportation. Classified under ADR Class 6.1 (toxic substances) and bearing the "Danger" signal word with GHS pictograms for health hazard (GHS08), acute toxicity (GHS06), and environmental hazard (GHS09), it requires specialized safety protocols. Unlike simpler aromatic compounds such as N-methylaniline, this heavily substituted phenyl derivative presents enhanced toxicity risks due to its multiple reactive substituents and potential for bioaccumulation. Industrial applications typically include specialized pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis, advanced materials research, and specific chemical manufacturing processes where the unique combination of cyano, diiodo, and octanoate functionalities provides essential reactivity patterns. The compound may also serve in specialized analytical chemistry applications and research involving halogenated organic compounds. OYSI maintains technical-grade (4-cyano-2,6-diiodophenyl) octanoate with comprehensive safety documentation and regulatory compliance support for qualified industrial customers across Europe.
