1H-imidazole-1-ethanol

Description:
1H-imidazole-1-ethanol, with the CAS number 1615-14-1, 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 hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to the carbon adjacent to the imidazole nitrogen, making it an alcohol. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a moderate boiling point and is soluble in water due to the presence of the hydroxyl group. The imidazole moiety contributes to its potential biological activity, as imidazole derivatives are known for their roles in various biochemical processes, including enzyme catalysis and as ligands in coordination chemistry. 1H-imidazole-1-ethanol can participate in hydrogen bonding, which enhances its solubility and reactivity. It is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as a building block for more complex molecules in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
