4-Imidazoledithiocarboxylic acid (4(5)-imidazoledithiocarboxylic acid, imidazole-4-dithiocarboxylic acid) is suitable for use in the preparation of imidazole functionalized silica with enhanced metal uptake and 3
H-imidazole-4-carbodithioic acid 4-vinyl-benzyl ester, a RAFT (reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer) agent used in the synthesis of highly-branched polymers.
It may be used in the synthesis of the following:
- Nucleophilic fatty acid ligands containing imidazole derivatives.
- Diorganotin (IV) complexes by reacting with diorganotin (IV) dichlorides.
- 2-(Imidazol-4-yl-4′)benzimidazole by reacting with o-phenylenediamine.
