Description

N-Methylphthalimide is a chemical compound that can be found in many antimicrobial agents. It is a photoreductive agent that converts to the corresponding N-methylphthalamic acid upon exposure to light. The compound has been shown to possess antimicrobial properties, as well as being able to inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, and viruses. N-methylphthalimide can also be used in polymer films and coatings for medical devices and food packaging. N-methylphthalimide has been shown to react with sodium carbonate under acidic conditions, yielding the desired product. This reaction is optimal at low energies in order to avoid any unwanted side reactions.
