N-methyl-1-(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methanamine; CAS No.: 1083246-52-9; N-methyl-1-(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methanamine. PROPERTIES: N-methyl-1-(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methanamine is a crystalline solid with molecular formula C6H10N3. Its melting point ranges between 102-105 C and it exhibits moderate polarity due to the presence of multiple nitrogen atoms. The compound demonstrates moderate solubility in organic solvents like DMSO and DMF but limited aqueous solubility. Storage should be maintained at 2-8 C in tightly sealed containers away from moisture and heat to preserve stability. Proper safety precautions include wearing N95/FFP2 filter masks, protective eyewear, and chemical-resistant gloves during handling to prevent skin and respiratory irritation. APPLICATIONS: This compound serves as a key intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of antifungal agents where its imidazole ring facilitates interactions with fungal enzyme systems (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry). In biochemical research, the N-methyl-1-(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methanamine acts as a ligand for studying G-protein coupled receptors, offering insights into signal transduction pathways (Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters). Additionally, its structural features make it suitable for derivatization in combinatorial chemistry approaches aimed at discovering novel therapeutic agents (ACS Combinatorial Science).
