Description

2-Ethyl-4-methylimidazole is an aromatic hydrocarbon that is used in the synthesis of a boron nitride template molecule. It is also used as a precursor for the synthesis of magnetic resonance contrast agents, which are used for MRI. The chemical structure of 2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole has been determined using magnetic resonance spectroscopy to be a crosslink between an aromatic ring and a methyl group. It reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce chloride, which can be detected using magnetic resonance spectroscopy at a detection sensitivity of 0.1 ppm. 2-Ethyl-4-methylimidazole has also been shown to have thermal activation energies (E) of 14.3 kcal/mol and 12.3 kcal/mol at 20 °C and 100 °C respectively, making it suitable for use in reactions that require high temperatures such as reactions with sodium carbonate or zirconium oxide.
