1-Ethyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium hydrogen sulfate(CAS: 412009-61-1)

1-Ethyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium hydrogen sulfate is a crystalline solid with a molecular weight of approximately 158.18 g/mol. It has a low solubility in water but is soluble in common organic solvents. The compound is moderately reactive, especially towards bases.

1-Ethyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium hydrogen sulfate is usually synthesized via the reaction of 1-ethyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazole with sulfuric acid. The process involves the protonation of the imidazole nitrogen followed by the addition of a sulfonate group.

1-Ethyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium hydrogen sulfate finds applications in pharmaceuticals for intermediate synthesis, as a component in sensors, and in certain polymers due to its unique structural and chemical properties.

When handling 1-Ethyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium hydrogen sulfate, proper personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and goggles should be worn. Store the substance in a well-ventilated area and use a fume hood during handling. In case of spill, immediately clean up with appropriate absorbent material and consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for further instructions.
