Medoxomil is a magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent that belongs to the class of organic compounds called tetrazoles. Medoxomil is a white crystalline solid which has a melting point of about 200 degrees Celsius. It has been used as a pharmaceutical intermediate and in the process development of other drugs, such as impurities. Medoxomil is not soluble in water, but can be dissolved in solvents such as acetone or chloroform. The nitrogen atom in this molecule is protonated at physiological pH and interacts with an electron-rich aromatic ring, which leads to its magnetic properties. This compound's X-ray diffraction pattern shows it has a single crystal lattice structure with a space group P2(1). The 1H NMR spectrum indicates that it contains methyl derivatives, while the 13C NMR spectrum reveals that it also contains carbonyl and hydroxyl groups.
