Iodine has been used for the easy visualization of 9-bromononanoic acid allyl ester by thin layer chromatography (TLC).It has also been used for the preparation of oxidation solution required for the synthesis of oligodeoxynucleotides bearing 3-terminal phosphorothioate. Iodine may be used to catalyze Direct oxidative couplingannulation of -keto esters or 2-pyridinyl--esters with alkenes to form dihydrofurans and indolizine respectively.

For R&D use onlynot for drug household or other uses.

Iodine exhibits exceptionally high dielectric polarization in various solvents (dioxane isobutylenep-xylene and benzene)
