Description

General description

1-Methyl-2-imidazolecarboxaldehyde is a heterocyclic building block. It affords tripodal ligands on condensation reaction with tris-(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren). These tripodal ligands react with iron(III) salts in the presence of air to afford iron(II) complexes. Its vibrational spectral studies have been reported.

Application

1-Methyl-2-imidazolecarboxaldehyde may be used in the synthesis of:

• Schiff bases
• ligand N,N-dimethyl-N′-(1-methylimidazole-2-ylmethyl)-ethylenediamine
• [(bis(1-methylimidazol-2-yl)methyl)(2-(pyridyl-2-yl)ethyl)amine]
