1H-Imidazole,1-(2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl)-

Description:

1H-Imidazole, 1-(2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl)-, with the CAS number 862776-43-0, is a chemical compound that features a five-membered aromatic ring containing two nitrogen atoms, characteristic of imidazole derivatives. This compound is notable for its substitution at the 1-position with a 2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl group, which introduces both a chlorine atom and a nitro group into the structure, contributing to its potential reactivity and biological activity. The presence of these substituents can influence the compound's solubility, polarity, and overall chemical behavior. Typically, imidazole derivatives are known for their roles in biological systems, including as components of various enzymes and as ligands in coordination chemistry. The nitro group may also impart specific electronic properties, making this compound of interest in medicinal chemistry and materials science. As with many chemical substances, safety and handling precautions should be observed, given the potential toxicity associated with nitro and chloro substituents.
