2-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-1,5-dimethyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid; CAS No.: 1499838-85-5;2-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-1,5-dimethyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid. PROPERTIES: 2-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-1,5-dimethyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid is a methoxy-substituted imidazole carboxylic acid with a molecular weight of 259.24 g/mol. This white crystalline solid has a melting point between 170-173 C. The molecule features an imidazole ring substituted with a 4-methoxy-phenyl group at position 2, methyl groups at positions 1 and 5, and a carboxylic acid group at position 4. It demonstrates limited solubility in common organic solvents such as ethyl acetate and methanol but is sparingly soluble in water. Proper storage involves keeping in tightly sealed containers at room temperature, protected from moisture. Safety considerations include the methoxy group's potential to cause skin irritation and the carboxylic acid's corrosive nature. Proper protective equipment should be utilized during handling. APPLICATIONS: This compound primarily serves as a building block in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, where the methoxyphenyl-substituted imidazole structure provides essential binding affinity to target enzymes. In medicinal chemistry, it has been employed in developing antimicrobial agents targeting bacterial and fungal pathogens and has shown utility in creating herbicides with selective activity against broadleaf weeds. The imidazole-carboxylic acid structure has also been explored in materials science for developing fluorescent probes, leveraging the electron-donating methoxy group to tune optical properties. These applications are documented in publications from the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry and Dyes and Pigments.
