imidazool
Imidazool is a chemical compound that belongs to the family of imidazoles, a class of heterocyclic aromatic molecules containing two nitrogen atoms in a five‑membered ring. The compound differs from typical imidazoles by the presence of a hydroxyl group attached to a carbon adjacent to one of the nitrogen atoms, giving it the suffix “‑ol.” The systematic IUPAC name is 4‑hydroxy‑1,3‑imidazolidine, although the precise nomenclature may vary depending on the substitution pattern.
The term imidazool first appeared in early synthetic chemistry literature in the 1970s as a potential intermediate
Imidazool has attracted some interest as a scaffold for drug development because the imidazole ring can coordinate
Safety data for imidazool indicate that it should be handled with standard laboratory precautions. The compound
