Description
1,13-Diiodotridecane is a symmetrical α,ω-diiodoalkane comprising a 13-carbon linear hydrocarbon chain with terminal iodine substituents at both ends. It serves as a highly reactive bifunctional building block in organic synthesis, where the superior leaving-group ability of iodide facilitates nucleophilic substitution reactions for the construction of macrocycles, long-chain spacer molecules, and polymeric materials.
