1-Vinylimidazole, 99%

Description

CAS: 1072-63-5 | C5H6N2 | 94.12 g/mol

1-Vinylimidazole is used as a monomer in the synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers. It is involved in the removal of vinyl protecting groups with an isoprene-catalyzed lithiation process. Also, it is involved in the preparation of magnetic-poly(divinylbenzene-1-vinylimidazole) microbeads. Further, it is used to prepare ion imprinted polyvinylimidazole-silica hybrid copolymer.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
