Description

1-Ethyl-1H-Imidazole-4,5-Diol Bis(n-Methylcarbamate) is a specialized heterocyclic carbamate derivative featuring dual N-methylcarbamoyl groups on a substituted imidazolidinediol scaffold. It serves as a high-value synthetic intermediate in the development of agrochemical actives—particularly next-generation fungicides and plant growth regulators—with demonstrated efficacy in modulating fungal cell wall biosynthesis and stress-response pathways. This compound is primarily utilized by research-driven agrochemical manufacturers, pharmaceutical R&D labs, and fine chemical suppliers engaged in novel bioactive molecule discovery and scale-up synthesis.

Application

• Fungicide active ingredient synthesis for systemic control of Ascomycete and Basidiomycete pathogens (e.g., Botrytis cinerea, Rhizoctonia solani)
• Key building block in the preparation of imidazole-based antifungal agents targeting CYP51 (lanosterol 14α-demethylase)
• Intermediate in the development of plant defense priming agents that enhance systemic acquired resistance (SAR)
• Structural motif in photoactivated pro-pesticides requiring controlled release under specific UV/visible light conditions
• Research reagent for structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies in heterocyclic carbamate pharmacophore optimization
• Custom synthesis partner for contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) serving crop protection innovators

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request. All batches are verified for identity (IR, HPLC retention time), assay purity (≥98.5% by HPLC), residual solvents (meets ICH Q3C guidelines), and heavy metals (≤10 ppm total). Manufacturing adheres to ISO 9001-certified quality management systems and supports REACH registration requirements for EU supply.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at 15–25°C in a dry, well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic nature, minimize exposure to ambient humidity; use desiccant packs during long-term storage. Avoid contact with strong acids or organic solvents unless under controlled reaction conditions.
