AbstractWe report the structure and characterization of 3,4,5-triiodo-2-methylthiophene, obtained as an unexpected, unreported, and significant side product from the iodination of 2-methylthiophene using iodine and iodic acid. Identity of this unexpected product was confirmed by X-ray crystallography and1H and13C NMR. The compound crystallizes in the P21/c space group with unit cell parametersa= 16.4183(10) Å,b= 4.1971(3) Å,c= 14.3888(9) Å, β = 111.4442(14),Z= 4, and Dcalc= 3.425 g cm−3. Analysis of residual electron density maps indicated the presence of crystallographic disorder between the 2-methyl and 5-iodo positions leading to a model of two distinct molecules of 3,4,5-triiodo-2-methylthiophene where the atoms of these two groups were exchanged. Non-covalent iodine–iodine and sulfur–iodine interactions are observed.Graphical AbstractThree products, two of which are constitutional isomers, are possible when installing multiple iodine atoms on 2-methylthiophene; X-ray structural analysis and spectral characterization show that the 4,5-diiodo isomer is not formed and that the 3,4,5-triiodo isomer is unexpectedly obtained. Halogen and chalcogen bonding are clearly observed.
