General description

2-Nitroimidazole is a natural antibiotic.

Application

2-Nitroimidazole was used in the synthesis of:
  • tert-butyl 2-(2-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethylcarbamate
  • 1-(2-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl)-2-nitro-1H-imidazole
  • 2-fluoro-N-(2-(2-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethyl)acetamide
  • 2-(2-methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethyl 2-fluoroacetate
  • radiolabeling precursors - the bromo substituted analogs
  • nitroimidazole substituted boronic acids, precursors for imaging hypoxic tissue
  • potential site-selective radiosensitizers for estrogen receptor-rich tumors

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.
