1-(2-chloroethyl)imidazolidin-2-one is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H10ClN2O. The following is a description of its nature, use, preparation and safety information:

Nature:
1-(2-chloroethyl)imidazolidin-2-one is a colorless to light yellow solid with a special nitrogen heterocyclic structure. It is stable at room temperature and not easily hydrolyzed. It is insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, ether and chlorinated hydrocarbons.

Use:
1-(2-chloroethyl)imidazolidin-2-one has antibacterial and bactericidal properties, so it can be used in the medical field. Its antibacterial properties can be used in the production of antibacterial agents, preservatives and bactericides. In addition, it is also used in the synthesis of other organic compounds, such as rubber vulcanization accelerators, dye intermediates, etc.

Method:
The preparation method of 1-(2-chloroethyl)imidazolidin-2-one can be obtained by the reaction of 2-chloroethylamine and carbon dioxide. A specific synthetic route may be that 2-chloroethylamine and sodium hydroxide are reacted at a high temperature to obtain 2-chloroethylamine, and then reacted with carbon dioxide in the presence of sodium carbonate to generate 4-chloroacetamide. Finally, 4-chloroacetamide is reacted with a high concentration of aqueous ammonia to produce 1-(2-chloroethyl)imidazolidin-2-one.

Safety Information:
