1-dodecyl-1H-imidazole; CAS No.: 4303-67-7; 1-dodecyl-1H-imidazole. PROPERTIES: This dodecyl-substituted imidazole features molecular formula C??H??N? with molecular weight 246.42 g/mol. It generally appears as a white crystalline powder. Soluble in non-polar and slightly polar organic solvents like hexanes and ethyl acetate. Melting point approximately 45-50 C. Exhibits IR absorption for N-H (~3300 cm??) and C-H stretches. Thermogravimetric analysis reveals weight loss onset above 150 C under nitrogen. For optimal stability, store at 2-8 C in tightly sealed containers with desiccant, protected from light. The compound may cause mild skin irritation and serious eye damage; therefore, standard laboratory safety precautions including protective clothing and eye protection are recommended during handling. APPLICATIONS: As a dodecyl-substituted imidazole, 1-dodecyl-1H-imidazole is predominantly utilized in the synthesis of corrosion inhibitors. It serves as a key intermediate in constructing imidazoline-based inhibitors, where the dodecyl group provides valuable hydrophobic properties for adsorption onto metal surfaces as demonstrated in corrosion research (Corrosion Science). Additionally, the compound participates in the development of surfactants for enhanced oil recovery, where its imidazole head group provides surface activity and the dodecyl tail enhances oil solubility (Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering). In materials science, it functions as a monomer for preparing polyimidazoline polymers with enhanced thermal stability, where the dodecyl group contributes to improved mechanical properties (Polymer International).
