2-Methylimidazole CAS 693-98-1
2-methylimidazole, also known as dimethylimidazole, is a white needle-like crystal or crystalline powder at room temperature. 2-methylimidazole is an intermediate in the production of metronidazole, an anti-trichomonas pesticide. It is also a curing agent and curing accelerator for epoxy resins and other resins, holding a special position among amine-based curing agents. When used as a medium-temperature curing agent for epoxy resins, it can be used alone. After a short period of heat treatment, a cured product with a high heat distortion temperature can be obtained. But it is mainly used as a curing accelerator for powder forming and powder coating. It can be obtained by dehydrogenation of 2-methylimidazoline.

2-methylimidazole is an intermediate for the drug metronidazole and the feed growth promoter dimethyl, and it is also a curing agent for epoxy resins and other resins. When used as a medium-temperature curing agent for epoxy resin, it can be used alone, but mainly as a curing accelerator for powder molding and powder coating. It is hygroscopic, soluble in water and alcohol, and insoluble in benzene. It is irritating and corrosive to the skin and mucous membranes. This product is used in the synthesis of metronidazole and dimezole, and it is also a curing agent for peroxy resins.
