About 2-Amino-4-iodobenzoicacid methyl ester

2-Amino-4-iodobenzoicacid methyl ester is an amine-functionalized compound with nucleophilic nitrogen reactivity. ChemContract Research supplies this moderate-complexity compound in high purity from our Huntington Beach, California facility, ensuring consistent quality and reliable domestic delivery throughout the United States.

Amines are among the most prevalent functional groups in drug molecules — over 80% of small-molecule pharmaceuticals contain at least one amine moiety. The C–I bond is the weakest carbon–halogen bond, which translates to the highest reactivity in oxidative addition — making aryl iodides the first-choice substrate for challenging cross-coupling reactions. Ester hydrolysis by cellular esterases is the most commonly exploited prodrug activation mechanism — enabling drugs that cannot cross biological membranes as free acids.

Primary applications include buchwald–hartwig amination for aryl c–n bond construction and sonogashira and heck coupling with the lowest activation barrier among aryl halides. This compound serves researchers and manufacturers across the pharmaceutical, polymer, agrochemical sectors. Whether you require 2-Amino-4-iodobenzoicacid methyl ester for early-stage research, process development, or commercial-scale production, ChemContract Research offers flexible ordering from milligram to multi-kilogram quantities with custom synthesis options and full batch documentation including Certificates of Analysis (CoA) and Safety Data Sheets.

Storage & Handling for Amines

Handling Guidelines

Amines may have strong odors and can be corrosive to skin. Handle under adequate ventilation with chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection. Iodo compounds may be light-sensitive and can stain skin. Handle in a fume hood and protect from light during use. Some esters are volatile and flammable. Handle in a well-ventilated area. Keep away from ignition sources.

Storage Conditions

Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from acids and oxidizing agents. Keep containers tightly sealed as many amines are hygroscopic. Store refrigerated (2–8 °C) in a light-resistant, tightly sealed container under inert atmosphere to prevent degradation. Store at room temperature in a tightly sealed container away from heat and open flame.
