General description

Imidazole is an aromatic heterocyclic compound with a five-membered planar ring. It is an amphoteric compound because of the presence of both an acidic NH and a basic nitrogen atom. Imidazole is an essential component of many important molecules including natural products, bioactive molecules, ionic liquids, and imidazolium.

Application

Imidazole can be used as a catalyst:      
  • For the silylation of alcohols, carboxylic acids, and amines in the presence of silyl chloride in DMF.     
  • In the peptide coupling using the triphenyl phosphite.
  • To prepare acid chlorides from the corresponding carboxylic acids and phosgene.

It can also be used in the following reactions:      
  • Imidazole-PPh3/I2 catalytic system used in the conversion of alcohols into iodides      
  • Imidazole-PPh3/I2 is used in the diol deoxygenation reaction.

Excellent for buffers in the range of pH 6.2-7.8

Other Notes

For titration of aspartic acid and glutamic acid
