Uses
Organic synthesis intermediate: Used in the synthesis of more complex imidazole derivatives. The phenyl group can be further modified (e.g., by introducing functional groups) to modulate the properties of the compound, resulting in applications in pharmaceuticals and materials chemistry.
Photochemical Research: Due to its conjugated structure, the molecule may undergo photoinduced electron transfer or fluorescence, making it a model compound for studying photophysical properties.
Ligand Application: As a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ligand, it is used in the synthesis of metal complexes to study their catalytic properties or optical properties.
Safety Information
Health Hazards: Currently, public safety data is limited. It is hypothesized to be a low irritant, but prolonged or excessive exposure may cause mild irritation to the skin and eyes. Inhalation of dust may cause respiratory discomfort.
Protective Measures: Wear a dust mask, protective gloves, and goggles when handling to avoid direct contact or inhalation.
Storage Conditions: Store tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from sources of ignition and strong oxidants. Avoid exposure to moisture and direct sunlight.
