3-Iodophenol (m-iodophenol) is an aromatic organic compound. 3-Iodophenol participates in a variety of coupling reactions in which the iodide substituent is displaced.[4] Well cited examples include thiolate[5] and amine nucleophiles.[6]
3-Iodophenol can be prepared by oxidative decarboxylation of 3-iodobenzoic acid:[7]
