2-Bromo-1-methyl-1H-imidazole Usage And Synthesis

Uses

2-Bromo-1-methylimidazole is used in in pharmaceuticals, drug candidates, ligands for transition metal catalysts and other molecular functional materials.

Uses

2-Bromo-1-methyl-1H-imidazole can be used in the synthesis of the following:

• N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-amine via C-N coupling with p-anisidine
• 1,2-bis[2-methyl-5-(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-3-thienyl]-cyclopentene, a ligand which can form bimetallic platinum(II) complex with potent cytotoxic activity
