4-Hydoxymethyl-5-methylimidazol

CAS: 29636-87-1

4-Hydroxymethyl-5-methylimidazol (HMMI) is a corrosion inhibitor that is used in the production of nanomaterials. It has been shown to be an effective treatment for wastewater containing hydrochloric acid and organic solvents. The reaction between HMMI and the acids in wastewater forms a complex that prevents the corrosion of metal surfaces. HMMI can be synthesized by reacting aesculus with formaldehyde in an organic solvent, such as acetone or chloroform, at room temperature. HMMI has also been shown to have antiviral potency and is used in skin care products, such as lotions and shampoos, due to its ability to penetrate the skin barrier. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) was used to study the effect of HMMI on skin cells, while electrochemical methods were used to investigate how it inhibits viral activity.
