1Iodopropene

1-Iodopropene is an organoiodine compound with the chemical formula C3H5I. It is a structural isomer of other iodopropenes, differing in the position of the iodine atom and the double bond. Specifically, the iodine atom is attached to the first carbon of the propene chain, and the double bond is located between the first and second carbon atoms. This results in a molecule with a three-carbon chain, a double bond between C1 and C2, and an iodine atom on C1. There are two possible geometric isomers for 1-iodopropene due to the double bond: (Z)-1-iodopropene and (E)-1-iodopropene, depending on the relative positions of the substituents around the double bond. The compound is typically a liquid at room temperature. Like many organohalogen compounds, 1-iodopropene can undergo various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitution and addition reactions across the double bond. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of the iodine atom and the unsaturation of the carbon chain. It is not a commonly encountered chemical in everyday life and is primarily of interest in organic synthesis and chemical research.
