2-Methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine

Description:

2-Methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (CAS 934-37-2) is a heterocyclic aromatic compound known for its potential mutagenic and carcinogenic properties. It features a fused ring structure that includes both imidazole and pyridine moieties, contributing to its chemical reactivity and biological activity. This compound is typically a pale yellow to brown solid and is sparingly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and dimethyl sulfoxide. 2-Methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine is primarily formed during the cooking of certain foods, particularly those that are grilled or smoked, due to the Maillard reaction involving amino acids and sugars. Its presence in food has raised health concerns, leading to studies on its effects on human health and its role in the development of certain cancers. In laboratory settings, it is often used in research to understand mechanisms of mutagenesis and the impact of dietary components on health. Proper handling and safety measures are essential due to its potential toxicity.
