2-Methyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid

Description:

2-Methyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid, with the CAS number 1457-58-5, is an organic compound characterized by its imidazole ring structure, which is a five-membered heterocyclic ring containing two nitrogen atoms. This compound features a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) at the 4-position and a methyl group (-CH3) at the 2-position of the imidazole ring. It is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents, reflecting its polar functional groups. The presence of both the carboxylic acid and the imidazole moiety contributes to its potential as a zwitterionic compound, which can exhibit both acidic and basic properties. This compound is of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and biochemistry, due to its potential role in biological systems and as a building block for more complex molecules. Its reactivity can be influenced by the functional groups present, making it a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis.

CAS: 1457-58-5

2-Methyl-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylic acid is a molecule that belongs to the class of antibiotics. It has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of lipases and other enzymes, which is due to its carboxylate group. The immobilization of this molecule has been studied by X-ray crystallography. The oxygen atoms in the molecule are covalently immobilized on a silica surface via a linker chain, which prevents the loss of these atoms. Dichroism spectroscopy was used to study the effects of different solvents on this molecule's ability to rotate light. 2-Methyl-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylic acid was also successfully immobilized using an enzyme called lipase, with residue carboxylate groups positioned at the bottom of the binding cavity.
