3-Iodobenzoic Acid, also known as m-Iodobenzoic Acid, is an aromatic carboxylic acid derivative where an iodine atom is located in the meta position relative to the carboxyl group on the benzene ring. This unique substitution pattern makes it an important intermediate for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and performance chemical industries. It is particularly valued in organic synthesis as a building block for iodinated intermediates and as a precursor in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki and Heck, enabling the development of complex molecules with diverse functional properties.
