Ethanone, 1-[1,2-dimethyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl]- (9CI)

Description:

Ethanone, 1-[1,2-dimethyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl]- (9CI), with the CAS number 103747-86-0, is an organic compound characterized by its imidazole ring structure, which contributes to its unique chemical properties. This substance features a ketone functional group (ethanone) and a dimethyl-substituted imidazole moiety, making it a heterocyclic compound. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. The presence of the imidazole ring suggests potential biological activity, as imidazole derivatives are often found in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The compound is soluble in organic solvents and may exhibit moderate stability under standard conditions. Its reactivity can be influenced by the electron-donating nature of the dimethyl groups, which can affect its interactions with other chemical species. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken due to potential toxicity or reactivity.
