What is 2-Methylimidazole?
2-Methylimidazole, also known as dimethylimidazole, is a white needle-like crystal or crystalline powder at room temperature. The relative molecular mass is 82.11. Melting point 145 ~ 146 ℃. Boiling point 267 ℃. Can sublimate. Flash point 160 ℃.
2-Methylimidazole is an intermediate in the production of the anti-Trichomonas pesticide metronidazole (Metronidazole). It is also a curing agent and curing accelerator for epoxy resins and other resins. It occupies a special position in amine curing agents. When used as a medium temperature curing agent for epoxy resins, it can be used alone. Cured product with high deformation temperature. From 2-methylimidazoline derived from dehydrogenation.
2-Methylimidazole Uses
- 2-Methylimidazole is used as an intermediate for the drug metronidazole, and is also a curing agent for epoxy resins and other resins.
- 2-Methylimidazole is the intermediate of the drug metronidazole and the feed growth promoter dimethylazole, and also the curing agent of epoxy resin and other resins. As a medium temperature curing agent for epoxy resins, it can be used alone, but it is mainly used as a curing accelerator for powder molding and powder coating.
- 2-Methylimidazole is an intermediate for the manufacture of metronidazole and a curing agent for epoxy resins and other resins. Textile dye auxiliaries. Organic Synthesis.
- 2-Methylimidazole is used for the production of pharmaceutical intermediates such as metronidazole and dimethylnidazole; it can be used as a curing agent for epoxy resins and other auxiliary agents for fabric dyes; as an additive in the preparation of foamed plastics.
- 2-Methylimidazole is an important fine chemical product. It is mainly used in the synthesis of metronidazole. It can also be used as epoxy resin curing agent, industrial fungicide, rust inhibitor and antistatic agent.
Application of 2-Methylimidazole
Imidazole is a five-membered aromatic heterocyclic compound containing two meta-position nitrogen atoms in its molecular structure. The unshared electron pair of the 1-position nitrogen atom in the imidazole ring participates in the cyclic conjugation, and the electron density of the nitrogen atom decreases, making this nitrogen atomic. The hydrogen on the atom easily leaves in the form of hydrogen ion. Its structure determines that it is not only acidic, but also basic, and can also form salts with strong bases. In addition, alkyl imidazoles are common and important compounds among imidazoles.
CN201711341304.4 proposes a preparation method of 1-ethyl-2-methylimidazole, wherein the method comprises the following steps: after adding 2-methylimidazole to a reactor, slowly adding an acid binding agent, and The aprotic solvent is continued to be added under stirring conditions; ethyl chloride is introduced into the mixed solution in the reaction kettle, and after fully reacting at a preset temperature for a first preset time, the mixed solution obtained after the reaction is filtered, The aprotic solvent in the filtrate is removed under normal pressure, and then the 1-ethyl-2-methylimidazole is obtained by distillation under reduced pressure.
In order to solve the existing problems of PVC heat stabilizer products on the existing market, CN201710025714.1 provides a 2-methylimidazole zinc salt and its preparation method and application, the prepared 2-methylimidazole zinc salt and stearic acid Calcium and calcium-zinc stearate are compounded to obtain a green calcium-zinc compound heat stabilizer with excellent initial and long-term thermal stability. The preparation method is as follows:
- 23.79g (molecular weight 297.49, 80mmol) zinc nitrate hexahydrate and 105.20g deionized water were added to the reaction vessel, 13.14g (molecular weight 82.10, 160mmol) 2-methylimidazole was completely dissolved in 164.40g (mass fraction 25-28%) ammonia water was added to the above-mentioned reactor, the temperature was raised to 20 ° C, centrifuged after the reaction for 10 min, washed with deionized water until neutral, and dried at 65 ° C overnight to obtain a white solid 2-methylimidazole zinc salt;
- Compounding 9.6g calcium stearate, 1.68g zinc stearate and 0.72g 2-methylimidazole zinc salt to obtain a calcium-zinc composite heat stabilizer.
