General description

4-Iodo-2-methylphenol was prepared by direct iodination of 2-methylphenol in aqueous alcohol solvents by the action of a reagent prepared in situ from sodium hypochlorite and sodium iodide.

Application

4-Iodo-2-methylphenol was used as starting reagent in the synthesis of an agonist for the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ (PPARδ) GW501516, a potential antiobesity drug.
