Application

1-Methylimidazole can be used as an organocatalyst to synthesize:
  • 4-amino-3,5-dicyano-6-arylphthalates via one-pot, a three-component reaction between arylidenemalononitriles, dialkyl ­acetylenedicarboxylates, and malononitrile.
  • Aromatic and aliphatic carbamates from hydroxamic acids via the Lossen rearrangement.
  • Tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyrans via three-component cyclocondensation reaction between aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile, and dimedone.

It can also be used as:
  • A co-catalyst in copper-catalyzed, greener oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl compounds under aerobic conditions.
  • A solvent/complexing agent in the preparation of CuInS2 n-type semiconductive particles.
  • A co-additive in the synthesis of acid-sensitive epoxides by methyltrioxorhenium-catalyzed epoxidation of alkenes with H2O2.

An effective method for suppression of ring opening and rearrangement of acid-sensitive epoxides during methyltrioxorhenium(MTO)-catalyzed epoxidation of alkenes with H(2)O(2) by using 1-methylimidazole as a co-additive has been found. The combined use of 3-methylpyrazole and 1-methylimidazole as the additives has
