Application

Ethyl 2-hydroxy-5-iodobenzoate is widely used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for synthesizing biaryl compounds. Its iodine moiety serves as a handle for palladium-catalyzed transformations, enabling the construction of complex molecular architectures. The compound is also employed in the development of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) analogs due to its structural similarity to salicylate derivatives. Additionally, it finds utility in radiopharmaceutical labeling and as a precursor for iodine-containing liquid crystals.
