Methyl imidazo [1,2-A] pyridine-8-carboxylate (MIPE) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C12H9N3O2. It is a colorless to slightly yellow liquid with a strong aroma.
MIPE is widely used in organic synthesis. It can be used as a reagent, catalyst and solvent for organic synthesis reactions. MIPE can also be used to prepare biologically active molecules such as pharmaceuticals, dyes and pesticides.
The method for preparing MIPE is usually obtained by acid-catalyzed condensation reaction of imidazole and pyridine-8-carboxylic acid methyl ester.
The security of MIPE is high, but it is still necessary to pay attention to safe operation. MIPE is irritating to eyes, skin and mucous membranes and should be rinsed with plenty of water immediately after contact. During operation, protective glasses, gloves and laboratory ventilation should be provided. In addition, MIPE is a flammable liquid, so avoid exposure to open flames and high temperatures. Ensure that the place where MIPE is stored and handled is well ventilated and avoid contact with oxidants and strong acids. For proper use and disposal of MIPE, refer to the relevant safety data sheets.
