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. Well cited examples include thiolate and amine nucleophiles. 3-Iodophenol can be prepared by oxidative decarboxylation of 3-iodobenzoic acid:
IC6H4CO2H + "O" → IC6H4OH + CO2
