1-Hexyl-2-methylimidazole has the molecular formula C10H18N2 and the CAS number 82410-68-2. It is an organic compound derived from imidazole by replacing two hydrogen atoms with a hexyl and a methyl group. It has a molecular weight of 166.26 g/mol. Imidazole derivatives are a class of organic compounds containing an imidazole ring, a five-membered heterocycle with two nitrogen atoms. They have various applications in chemistry and biology. Synonyms include 1-Hex-2-MIM, HMI, HMI, and HexMIM. The SMILES notation for this compound is CCCCCCN1C=CN=C1C.

Key Applications:

It is mainly used as an intermediate for the synthesis of other organic compounds, such as ionic liquids, pharmaceuticals, and polymers. HexMIM has been studied for its properties and reactivity in different reactions and solvents. Polymer inclusion membranes (PIMs) with 1-hexyl-2-methylimidazole as a carrier can effectively separate copper and other non-ferrous ions from aqueous solutions by facilitated transport mechanism. The separation efficiency of PIMs depends on various factors, such as the concentration of HMI in the membrane, the pH of the feed solution, the stripping agent, and the membrane thickness. HMI is a versatile and efficient carrier for PIMs, as it can form stable complexes with metal ions and in the polymer matrix. It has also been evaluated as an effective an antibacterial and antiviral agent.
