CAS 78892-68-9

Methyl 5-methyl-4-imidazolecarboxylate

Description:

Methyl 5-methyl-4-imidazolecarboxylate, identified by its CAS number 78892-68-9, is an organic compound characterized by its imidazole ring structure, which is a five-membered heterocyclic compound containing two nitrogen atoms. This substance typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. It is soluble in polar organic solvents, reflecting its polar functional groups, and may exhibit moderate stability under standard conditions. The presence of the methyl ester functional group suggests that it can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water or strong acids/bases, leading to the formation of the corresponding carboxylic acid. Methyl 5-methyl-4-imidazolecarboxylate may have applications in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals, due to the biological activity often associated with imidazole derivatives. As with many chemical substances, proper handling and safety precautions should be observed, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
