Imidazole Usage And Synthesis |
Description | Imidazole group denotes a heterocyclic organic compound whose molecule contains a five-membered hetero-aromatic ring of two non-adjacent nitrogen atoms, that a carbon atom is placed between two nitrogen atoms. Imidazole is the universally used trivial name for 1,3-azole. Earlier given names were glyoxaline and iminazole. The importance of this aromatic ring system is reflected by its presence in naturally occurring histidine, histamine and the purines, and in several classes of pharmaceuticals. Imidazole can act as a base and as a weak acid. It exists in two tautomeric forms with the hydrogen atom taking position between the two nitrogen atoms. |
Chemical Properties | Imidazole is a moderately strong base (pKb= 7.0), and a weak acid (pKa= 14.9). Imidazoles substituted with electron-withdrawing groups are stronger acids than imidazole itself; e.g., 4(5)-nitroimidazole has a pKa of 9.3. Imidazole is stable at 400°C, possesses considerable aromatic character, and undergoes the usual electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Nitration and sulfonation require, however, far more drastic conditions than the corresponding reactions with benzene. Other substitution reactions of imidazole include halogenation, hydroxymethylation, coupling with aromatic diazonium salts, and carboxylation. |
History | Imidazole[288-32-4] was first synthesized in 1858 by Debus from ammonia and glyoxal; it was originally named glyoxalin. The name imidazole was introduced by Hantzsch. Industrial production of imidazole began in the 1950s; a wide range of derivatives is now available in industrial quantities. |
Uses | Imidazole is used as a buffer in the range of pH 6.2-7.8. It is also an histamine antagonist. It acts as a chelator and forms complexes with various divalent cations. It is used as a corrosion inhibitor on certain transition metals such as copper. Its derivatives, like polybenzimidazole (PBI), act as fire retardants. It finds application in photography and electronics. Imidazole salts are used as ionic liquids and precursors to stable carbenes. Imidazole derivatives like ketoconazole, miconazole and clotrimazole are involved in the treatment of various systemic fungal infections. It is a part of the theophylline molecule, present in tea leaves and coffee beans, which stimulates the central nervous system. |
Application | Imidazole is a versatile heterocycle used in the preparation of various biologically active compounds such as the amino acid histidine and is present in many antifungal medication. It is also used ext ensively as a corrosion inhibitor on transition metals such as copper.It is used in organic synthesis and as an antiirradiationagent. Imidazole has been used: in the lysis, wash and elution buffer for the purification of histidine tagged Sonic Hedgehog(shh-N) protein. in elution buffer in stepwise gradient for the purification of histidine tagged aldo keto reductases using nickel affinity chromatography. as a component of homogenization buffer for the purification of phagosomal compartments from dendritic cell. |
