Chemistry & industry
Uses & manufacturing
Applications
UsesAcetylating agent for capping unreacted amino groups in peptide synthesis.
UsesIt is a mild acylating agent and its reactivity can be enhanced by quaternization with, e.g. benzyl bromide. 1-Acetylimidazole was used as acetylation reagent for amino groups. It was also employed for acetylation of histones. It is relatively specific reagent for tyrosyl residue acetylatioa dn a reagent used in the synthesis of annulated imidazole derivatives.
UsesRelatively specific reagent for tyrosyl residue acetylation. Reagent used in the synthesis of annulated imidazole derivatives.
General DescriptionRate of solvolysis of 1-acetylimidazole in acid solutions was evaluated. Reaction of 1-acetylimidazole with orthophosphate and adenosine-5′-phosphate has been reported.
