1-(2-Hydroxyethyl)imidazole CAS 1615-14-1

Aure Chemical Supplies 1-(2-Hydroxyethyl)imidazole CAS 1615-14-1 for Specialty Synthesis

1-(2-Hydroxyethyl)imidazole is a hydroxyethyl-substituted imidazole derivative used as an organic intermediate in selected pharmaceutical intermediate, fine chemical, and specialty synthesis routes. Its structure combines an imidazole ring with a hydroxyethyl side chain, providing both nitrogen heterocycle character and alcohol functionality for downstream transformation.

This compound may be evaluated when a hydroxyethyl imidazole structure, N-substituted imidazole intermediate, or alcohol-functional five-membered nitrogen heterocycle is required in organic synthesis. Aure Chemical supports specification confirmation, documentation review, and sourcing feasibility evaluation based on the agreed product grade, supplier batch, quantity, and destination market.
