Imidazole

Imidazole CAS: 288-32-4, its molecular formula is C3H4N2, EINECS: 206-019-2, its appearance is a white or yellow crystalline powder with an ammonia odor; Easily soluble in water, ethanol, ether, chloroform, and pyridine; Slightly soluble in benzene, extremely slightly soluble in petroleum; It is an organic compound, a type of diazole, and a five membered aromatic heterocyclic compound containing two meta nitrogen atoms in its molecular structure. The unshared electron pairs of the 1-position nitrogen atom in the imidazole ring participate in cyclic conjugation, reducing the electron density of the nitrogen atom and making it easier for the hydrogen on this nitrogen atom to leave in the form of a hydrogen ion. Imidazole cas:288-32-4 has both acidity and alkalinity, and can form salts with strong bases. The chemical properties of imidazole can be summarized as a combination of pyridine and pyrrole. These two structural units play an important role in the catalysis of lipid hydrolysis by histidine as an acyl transfer reagent in enzymes. Imidazole derivatives exist in biological organisms and are more important in scientific research and industrial production than imidazole itself, such as DNA, hemoglobin, etc.
