Iodobenzene is an

aryl iodide and the simplest of the iodobenzenes, consisting of a benzene ring substituted with one iodine atom. Its chemical formula is C6H5I. It is useful as a synthetic intermediate in organic chemistry
. It is a volatile colorless liquid, although aged samples appear yellowish.

Preparation

Iodobenzene is commercially available, or it can be prepared in the laboratory from

phenyldiazonium chloride, causing nitrogen gas to evolve. The product is separated by steam distillation.[2]

Sandmeyer-Reaction

Alternatively, it can be produced by refluxing iodine and nitric acid with benzene.[3]

Reactions

Since the C–I bond is weaker than C–Br or C–Cl, iodobenzene is more reactive than

phenyl anion synthon. Iodobenzene reacts with chlorine to give the complex, iodobenzene dichloride,[4]
which is used as a solid source of chlorine.

Iodobenzene can also serve as a substrate for the Sonogashira coupling, Heck reaction, and other metal-catalyzed couplings. These reactions proceed via the oxidative addition of iodobenzene.
