1-(n-Butyl)imidazole is used in the synthesis of a heterocyclic mesomeric betaine and 1-(1-butyl-3-imidazolio)propane-3-sulfonate (BIm3S). It acts as an N-coordinated ligand. It is used in the chiral separation of amino acids and anionic pharmaceuticals by capillary electrophoresis. It is used for preparation of substituted phenyl-containing imidazolium ionic liquid.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
