This product is a synthetic aryl iodide building block and is not intended for biological use. No endogenous biological role is established for 3-iododibenzofuran.
General context (informational):
Dibenzofuran frameworks are used in research materials chemistry (e.g., OLED/OPV scaffolds, ligands) due to their rigid, electron-rich, planar structures.
Iodo substituents can serve as radiolabeling handles in tracer synthesis (e.g., radioiodination) in research settings; however, such applications require specialized facilities and are outside the scope of this product listing.
Research Use Note: For research use only. Not for human or animal therapeutic or diagnostic use.
Buffer Applications
Not typically applicable. 3-Iododibenzofuran is a hydrophobic aryl iodide building block and is not used to prepare aqueous buffer systems. For practical guidance, refer instead to the Reaction & Applications, Synthetic Utility, and Reaction Conditions sections for organic synthesis usage.
Green Alternatives
Greener practice centers on solvent/catalyst choices and minimizing halogenated waste while leveraging the high reactivity of the aryl iodide to reduce energy and catalyst loadings.
Solvent considerations (literature/general):
Replace dioxane/DMF where feasible with bio-derived ethers such as 2-MeTHF or cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME), or with green esters like propylene carbonate, balancing solubility/catalyst compatibility.
Perform Suzuki couplings in water-rich media or aqueous micellar systems (e.g., with surfactants like TPGS-750-M) to cut organic solvent usage.
Catalyst and process:
Use highly active Pd precatalysts with bulky biaryl phosphines to lower Pd loading (≤0.1–0.5 mol%) and enable lower temperatures.
Explore nickel catalysis for certain couplings to reduce reliance on Pd, noting potential trade-offs in scope and functional-group tolerance.
Energy efficiency:
The iodo leaving group typically allows shorter reaction times and reduced temperatures versus bromo/chloro counterparts—less heating means lower energy demand.
Comparison highlights (general):
3-Iododibenzofuran vs 3-bromodibenzofuran:
Reactivity: I > Br (allows milder conditions)
Cost/waste: I generally higher cost; iodide waste requires halogenated disposal streams
Selectivity: iodides may minimize side reactions by enabling faster oxidative addition
Trade-offs should be evaluated case-by-case; process safety and product quality remain primary.

Reaction and Applications
3-Iododibenzofuran is a versatile electrophile; the aryl iodide enables high-rate cross-couplings and metalations on a rigid, electron-rich dibenzofuran core.
Key reaction families (literature/general):
C–C bond formations:
Suzuki–Miyaura coupling with aryl/heteroaryl/alkenyl boron reagents to access diverse 3-substituted dibenzofurans. The iodo leaving group affords short cycle times and lower catalyst loadings versus Br/Cl analogs.
Sonogashira coupling with terminal alkynes (Pd/Cu co-catalysis or Cu-free protocols) to give 3-alkynyl derivatives; useful in materials and ligand synthesis.
Negishi/Kumada coupling via organozinc or Grignard reagents formed in situ or ex situ.
Grignard formation (Mg, activator such as a crystal of I2) followed by addition to electrophiles.
Practical notes:
Maintain anhydrous, oxygen-free conditions for Pd-catalyzed and organometallic steps; dry glassware and degassed solvents are recommended.
For Suzuki couplings, bases such as K3PO4 or Cs2CO3 in dioxane/water at 60–100 °C often deliver excellent conversions. Catalyst systems like Pd(PPh3)4 or Pd-precatalysts with dialkylbiaryl phosphines (XPhos, SPhos) are effective.
The dibenzofuran oxygen can influence regioselectivity and electronic properties, often improving cross-coupling rates relative to purely carbocyclic analogs.

General safety guidance for aryl iodides and polycyclic aromatics (informational only; defer to the SDS for authoritative data):
Likely hazards: May cause skin/eye irritation and respiratory irritation as particulate/dust. Aromatic halides can be harmful if swallowed or inhaled; avoid dust formation and inhalation of vapors during heating.
Environmental considerations: Halogenated aromatics can be harmful to aquatic life; prevent release to the environment and collect waste in halogenated organic waste streams.
PPE: Use lab coat, safety glasses or chemical splash goggles, and appropriate chemically resistant gloves (e.g., nitrile). Work in a fume hood during weighing, charging, and heating.
Handling: Avoid strong bases/nucleophiles if undesired metal–halogen exchange is possible. For cross-couplings, exclude air/moisture as required by catalyst system. Avoid prolonged heating to decomposition.
Incompatibilities (general): Strong reducing metals in the presence of protic solvents can lead to side reactions; strong oxidants may halogenate/oxidize the aromatic framework.
First aid (overview): If on skin, wash with soap and water; if in eyes, rinse cautiously with water for several minutes; if inhaled, move to fresh air; if ingested, seek medical advice. Always follow institution SOPs.
Always read the current SDS prior to use and follow institutional risk assessments.

Structure and Identity
3-Iododibenzofuran is an aryl iodide on a rigid dibenzofuran scaffold, useful as a high-reactivity cross-coupling handle.
Item-specific identifiers (from Product Data):
CAS: 5896-29-7
PubChem CID: 14290983
InChIKey: 460761
SMILES: Not specified for this item; refer to CoA/Spec Sheet.
Literature/computed identifiers and descriptors (for reference; not item specifications):
Common structural class: polycyclic heteroaromatic (dibenzofuran core) bearing an aryl iodide substituent at the 3-position.
Structural features (general chemistry description):
Ring system: a tricyclic system composed of two benzene rings fused through a central furan (oxygen-bridged) ring (dibenzofuran).
Functional groups: aryl iodide (C–I), aryl ether (aryl–O–aryl within the fused framework).
Substitution pattern: iodine at the 3-position (on an outer benzene ring adjacent to the oxygen-bridged junction), providing a highly reactive aryl halide site while preserving the electron-rich dibenzofuran core.
2D description: two fused benzene rings flanking a five-membered furan; an iodine atom attached to the perimeter carbon of one benzene ring ortho to the oxygen bridge.
Borylation: Pd-catalyzed borylation (e.g., with B2pin2) to 3-boryldibenzofuran, enabling subsequent Suzuki diversifications.
Metal–halogen exchange: n-BuLi or iPrMgCl·LiCl to form arylmetalloid species for electrophile trapping (formylation, acylation, halogenation, silylation, phosphination).
Reductive transformations: Pd-catalyzed dehalogenation to access the parent dibenzofuran or to tune substitution patterns.
Retrosynthetic value:
3-Iododibenzofuran serves as a convergent branching point: install the dibenzofuran scaffold early, then diversify at C3 under catalyst control to explore electronic/steric space without re-engineering the core.
Selectivity and compatibility:
The iodo handle provides orthogonality vs positions activated for electrophilic substitution on the ring system; many protecting-group strategies are unnecessary due to the stability of the aryl ether within the fused core.
