693-98-1 factory sells superior manufacturer 2-Methylimidazole in stock
2-Methyl imidazole is also known as 2-methyl-imidazol,which is white needle crystal or crystalline powder at room temperature. Relative molecular mass 82.11. Melting point 145～146℃. Boiling point 267℃. Able to sublimate. Flash point 160℃. Insoluble in cold ether and benzene, soluble in water, alcohols and ketones. Irritating to the skin and mucous membrane. Mice are investigated with LD501400mg/kg by oral. 2-Methylimidazole is the intermediate of producing pranti-trichomonal pesticide, metronidazole (Flagyl). It is also curing agent and curing accelerator of epoxy resin and other resin and plays a special role in the amine curing agent. As temperature curing agent of epoxy resin, it can be used alone and it can produce cured products with high heat distortion temperature after heat treatment in a short period. However, it is mainly used as curing accelerator for powder forming and powder coating which can be obtained by dehydrogenation of 2-methylimidazole.
2-Methylimidazole is used as a raw material for the preparation of nitroimidazole antibiotics, which is useful in combat anaerobic bacterial and parasitic infections. It acts as a ligand in coordination chemistry. It is also employed as a hardener or accelerator for epoxy resin and auxiliary agent for textile dyes. Further, it acts as a catalyst for refolding of enhanced colored fluorescent protein. It is also useful as a building block in the synthesis of biologically active compounds. In addition to this, it is used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient intermediate such as metronidazole and dimetridazole.
