CAS 4316-42-1: Butylimidazole

N(n-Butyl)imidazole is a chemical compound that is used for wastewater treatment. It has been shown to be effective in the reduction of ethylene diamine (EDA) and potassium hexafluorophosphate (KPF) in aqueous solution. N(n-Butyl)imidazole has also been shown to have high chemical stability, transport properties, and ionic strength while having low toxicity. N(n-Butyl)imidazole is synthesized by reacting n-butanol with nitric acid followed by hydrolysis of the resulting nitrile. This synthesis can be done at temperatures as low as -10°C, which makes it an attractive candidate for use in cold climates where other synthetic methods are not possible or practical.
