A method for preparing 2-phenylimidazole, characterized by using pure ammonia, benzaldehyde, and glyoxal aqueous solution as raw materials, and employing a gas-liquid-liquid phase method to synthesize 2-phenylimidazole: NH3(g) + C6H5CHO + CHOCHO(aqueous solution) → 2-phenylimidazole
colorless to beige chunks or granular powder
2-Phenylimidazole (2-PI) is used to prepare complex compounds with ruthenium (III) and also as an intermediate for agrochemical, pharmaceutical and specialty products. It also finds its application as a curing agent for epoxy resins and polyurethane.
