2-Iodobenzoic Acid, also known as o-Iodobenzoic Acid, is an aromatic carboxylic acid derivative where an iodine atom is positioned ortho to the carboxyl group on the benzene ring. This structure provides unique reactivity, making it an important intermediate in organic synthesis. It is widely employed in the preparation of oxidizing reagents, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty fine chemicals. A key application is its use as a precursor to IBX (o-Iodoxybenzoic acid) and Dess–Martin periodinane (DMP), powerful oxidation reagents in synthetic chemistry.
