Description
5-Chloro-1-methyl-4-nitroimidazole is an imidazole derivative. It is useful in the rapid mix experiments to investigate the mechanism of anomalous radiosensitization of mammalian cells. It can also be used in the synthesis of 5-aryl-1-methyl-4-nitroimidazoles, via Suzuki coupling with arylboronic acids, catalyzed by dichlorobis-(triphenylphosphine) palladium (II), K2CO3 and tetrabutylammonium bromide. 5-Chloro-1-methyl-4-nitroimidazole is an intermediate
in azathioprine synthesis, also present in the end
product. It induced contact dermatitis in a man
working on azathioprine synthesis. Cross reactivity is
possible with imidazoles tioconazole, and econazole.

Uses
5-Chloro-1-methyl-4-nitroimidazole (CMNI) is suitable for use in the rapid mix experiments to investigate the mechanism of anomalous radiosensitization of mammalian cells by CMNI. It may be used in the synthesis of 5-aryl-1-methyl-4-nitroimidazoles, via Suzuki coupling with arylboronic acids, catalyzed by dichlorobis-(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II), K2CO3 and tetrabutylammonium bromide.
