Application | 2-methylimidazoline can be used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, such as preparing 1-ethyl-2-methylimidazoline. 2-Methyl-2-imidazoline can be used as a corrosion inhibitor. |
preparation | 2-methyl imidazoline is prepared as follows: firstly, 62g of ethylenediamine and 5.2g of sulfur are added into a reaction vessel, stirred, heated and refluxed, slowly added 6g of acetonitrile at 100 ℃ to control the return flow rate, slowly heated to 150-160 ℃ for reaction for 1 hour after dropping, and then added 11g of zinc powder in batches, after the zinc powder is added, the heat preservation reaction is carried out for 2 hours, and finally the fraction is collected at 190-206 ℃, I .e. 2-methyl imidazoline. |
Use | Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. |
Production method | It is obtained by cycliphing ethylenediamine and acetonitrile. Put part of acetonitrile into a dry reaction pot first, then add ethylenediamine and sulfur, stir and heat to 100 ℃, and slowly add the remaining amount of acetonitrile. After reacting at 150-160 ℃ for 1h, zinc powder was added to continue the reaction for 2h. Distillation, collect 190-206 ℃ fraction, that is, 2-methyl imidazoline. |
