1-Iodobutane is a linear primary alkyl iodide with high reactivity due to the weak C–I bond, making it ideal for SN2 reactions, alkylation, and organometallic synthesis. It serves as a versatile building block in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals. This synthesis-grade variant is stabilized and supplied in amber glass bottles to protect against light and degradation.
