Bis(pyridine)iodonium tetrafluoroborate is used as mild iodinating and oxidizing reagent. It is also useful for selective iodination of free phenolic groups in tyrosine residues during solid-phase synthesis.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Applications
Bis(pyridine)iodonium tetrafluoroborate is used as mild iodinating and oxidizing reagent. It is also useful for selective iodination of free phenolic groups in tyrosine residues during solid-phase synthesis.

Solubility
Hydrolyzes in water.

Notes
Keep container tightly sealed. Store in cool, dry conditions in well sealed containers. Incompatible with oxidizing agents.
