2-Methylimidazole (CAS: 693-98-1) is a monomethylated imidazole that can be used as a building block in the preparation of a wide range of biologically active compounds. Organic synthesis; Used as intermediates of producing drugs, such as metronidazole, two methyl imidazole, etc. It can be used as the curing agent of epoxy resin and dye auxiliaries of fiber textile, as well as additives for the preparation of foam plastics. 2-Methylimidazole is used as a raw material for the preparation of nitroimidazole antibiotics, which is useful in combat anaerobic bacterial and parasitic infections. It acts as a ligand in coordination chemistry. It is also employed as a hardener or accelerator for epoxy resin and auxiliary agent for textile dyes. Further, it acts as a catalyst for refolding of enhanced colored fluorescent protein. It is also mainly used as curing accelerator for powder forming and powder coating which can be obtained by dehydrogenation of 2-Methylimidazole.
