2′-Iodoacetophenone (2-Iodoacetophenone) may be used in the synthesis of:
indene derivatives
di-(o-acetylphenyl)acetylene
indenol derivative

2'-iodoacetophenone can be prepared by diazotization of 2-acetylaniline.

2'-Iodoacetophenone is a bioactive molecule that reacts with boronic acids to form aryl boronic acid derivatives. This reaction can be carried out in chlorobenzene or dihedral solvents, and it is scalable and applicable to a variety of boronic acids. The product of this reaction is an organocatalyst for the synthesis of bioactive molecules. 2'-Iodoacetophenone also reacts with dipole-containing additives to form dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane, which has been used as a fungicide, insecticide, and herbicide.

2′-Iodoacetophenone is a halogenated aromatic ketone.
