5-Iodo-1-phenylpentan-1-one , CAS 66860-64-8 , is an iodo-functionalized aromatic ketone with molecular formula C11H13IO and molecular weight 288.13 g/mol. It is supplied as a research or synthesis intermediate with lot-specific identity, assay, impurity and physical-form data. Because alkyl iodides can be condition-sensitive, buyers should define light exposure, stabilizing conditions, analytical timing and route-critical impurities rather than rely on unsupported generic shelf-life or bulk-use claims.

Applications and grade selection
5-Iodo-1-phenylpentan-1-one may be evaluated in controlled substitution, cyclization and functional-group-conversion routes used to prepare more complex research intermediates. The actual reaction value depends on the buyer’s nucleophile, solvent, temperature and impurity tolerance, so application performance should be confirmed at small scale.
- Agree the identity technique, assay method and limits for unreacted precursors, positional isomers and degradation products.
- Check color and chromatographic profile promptly after receipt and record storage and sampling conditions.
- Run a representative reaction before authorizing project-volume supply.
Storage and handling
Keep the container tightly closed and protected from light, heat and incompatible reagents under the conditions stated in the current documentation. Minimize repeated opening and follow the supplier’s instructions for atmosphere, temperature and retest period.
Safety, documentation and procurement
Handle as a reactive organoiodine synthesis intermediate using suitable gloves, eye protection and ventilation according to the current SDS. An inquiry should define specification, intended reaction, sample or project quantity, packaging, destination and documentation.
FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Is 4-iodobutyrophenone a synonym for 5-Iodo-1-phenylpentan-1-one?
A: Yes. Both names describe Ph–CO–(CH2)4–I, the terminal iodo ketone identified by CAS 66860-64-8. It is also called 1-benzoyl-4-iodobutane. Confirm the full name, CAS number, structure and an agreed chromatographic or spectral identity method rather than matching only the formula C11H13IO. -
Q:
Which quality points should be set for 5-Iodo-1-phenylpentan-1-one?
A: Specify chromatographic assay, identity, physical form or melting range, water, residual solvents and limits for relevant starting-material, deiodinated or elimination impurities. Appearance, sample method, package compatibility and light or temperature protection should follow stability data for the offered grade rather than being assumed from the CAS number.
