5-Chloro-1-methyl-4-nitroimidazole Usage And Synthesis

Description

5-Chloro-1-methyl-4-nitroimidazole is an imidazole derivative. It is useful in the rapid mix experiments to investigate the mechanism of anomalous radiosensitization of mammalian cells. It can also be used in the synthesis of 5-aryl-1-methyl-4-nitroimidazoles, via Suzuki coupling with arylboronic acids, catalyzed by dichlorobis-(triphenylphosphine) palladium (II), K2CO3 and tetrabutylammonium bromide.

Description

5-Chloro-1-methyl-4-nitroimidazole is an intermediate in azathioprine synthesis, also present in the end product. It induced contact dermatitis in a man working on azathioprine synthesis. Cross reactivity is possible with imidazoles tioconazole, and econazole.

Uses

5-Chloro-1-methyl-4-nitroimidazole (CMNI) is suitable for use in the rapid mix experiments to investigate the mechanism of anomalous radiosensitization of mammalian cells by CMNI. It may be used in the synthesis of 5-aryl-1-methyl-4-nitroimidazoles, via Suzuki coupling with arylboronic acids, catalyzed by dichlorobis-(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II), K2CO3 and tetrabutylammonium bromide.

General Description

5-Chloro-1-methyl-4-nitroimidazole is an 4-nitroimidazole derivative.

Contact allergens

This intermediate in azathioprine synthesis is also present in the end product. It induced contact dermatitis in a man working on azathioprine synthesis. Cross-reactivity is possible with imidazoles tioconazole and econazole.
