General description

1-Benzyl-2-methylimidazole is a nitrogen heterocycle and forms mixed ligand Pt(II) complexes. 1-Benzyl-2-methylimidazole on treatement with ammonia and sodium yields 2-methylimidazole. Deposition of plasma-polymerized 1-benzyl-2-methylimidazole (PPBMI) thin films onto glass substrates by glow discharge technique have been reported.

Application

1-Benzyl-2-methylimidazole may be employed as catalyst to investigate the effect of catalysts on the curing reaction of the biphenyl epoxy (4,4′-diglycidyloxy-3,3′,5,5′-tetramethyl biphenyl)dicyclopentadiene type phenolic resin system.
