1,2-Dimethylimidazolium Chloride, CAS: 34531-53-8)

Key Applications:

Organic Synthesis & Catalysis

• Polar, non‑volatile solvent for nucleophilic substitution and azide formation from primary amines
• Medium for aza‑Henry reactions and other base‑promoted transformations
• Ligand and reaction medium for Group 11 metal complexes (Cu, Ag, Au), enabling:
  • Hydroelement additions
  • Element–element coupling
  • Carbo‑element additions
  • Hydroaminations, hydroarylations, hydroalkoxylations
  • Hydrations, hydrocarboxylations
  • Cyclizations and tandem catalytic sequences

Electrochemistry & Metal Deposition

• Ionic medium for metal extraction and electrodeposition
• Supports deposition of copper oxide films on stainless steel
• Useful in developing supercapacitor materials due to high ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability

Membranes & Energy Materials

• Functional precursor for alkaline anion exchange membranes (AAEMs) used in fuel cells
• Electrolyte component in ionomer‑based electroactive polymer actuators

Materials Science & Coordination Chemistry

• Building block for imidazolium‑based functional materials
• Stabilizing ligand for transition‑metal complexes used in catalysis and materials development
