4-Iodobutyric acid is frequently in organic synthesis and biochemistry due to its reactivity and utility as a building block for more complex molecules. It serves as a versatile reagent in the preparation of various organic compounds, including the synthesis of gamma-lactones and modification of peptides and proteins. 4-Iodobutyric acid is involved in the study of alkylation reactions where the iodine atom acts as a good leaving group, facilitating the formation of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds. This reactive intermediate is also in the conjugation of small molecules to proteins or other macromolecules, which can be for the study of molecular interactions and functions. The iodine atom of 4-Iodobutyric acid provides a reactive site for further functionalization, which is applied in the design of new molecules.
