It is a pale yellow solid that melts near room temperature. It undergoes a variety of coupling reactions in which the iodine substituent is replaced by a new carbon group ortho to the hydroxy group of the phenol, which can be followed by cyclization to form heterocycles. https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/catalog/product/ALDRICH/281409 Sigma-Aldrich 2-Iodophenol It can be prepared by treatment of 2-chloromercuriphenol with iodine: ClHgC6H4OH + I2 -> IC6H4OH + HgCl(I) Direct reaction of phenol with iodine gives a mixture of 2- and 4-iodo derivatives.Whitmore, F.
